Feather
Feather charted as clean filet blocks that read clearly on the grid, a 15 by 21 motif made for woodland blankets, seasonal pieces, and outdoorsy gifts. Open it in the editor to resize the grid, frame it with open mesh, or repeat it into a border, then export a PNG or print a numbered chart to crochet from.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
This is a friendly first filet project. The shape reads clearly even if your counting slips by a square or two, and there are no tricky fragmented areas to track.
Yarn and hook
A small motif like the feather suits size 10 or 20 cotton thread and a steel hook, giving the delicate, heirloom look filet is known for. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Reach for the feather when you want a seasonal accent. It looks at home on a camping-themed throw and a woodland nursery blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a child, the feather suits a cabin gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 3.8 by 5.3 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
