Planet

Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

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
Work the planet in cotton thread for a delicate result, or in DK or worsted cotton on a larger hook for a cushion- or blanket-scale version that still holds the mesh open. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a woodland nursery blanket or a seasonal wall hanging, the planet drops in cleanly, ideal for a calming home piece. 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 planet 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
Expect roughly 6.0 by 6.0 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.
