Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
For a larger pine tree, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a woodland nursery blanket or a seasonal wall hanging, the pine tree drops in cleanly, ideal for a woodland nursery. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A pine tree panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a hiker, and it fits naturally with an Earth-Day project. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 5.0-by-6.0-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
