Raindrop
A bold, recognizable raindrop drawn on the filet grid at 22 by 28, equally at home in woodland blankets, seasonal pieces, and outdoorsy gifts. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
For a larger raindrop, 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. Traditional filet is a single colour, which keeps the block-and-mesh contrast readable, but you can always work the background in a second shade.
Project ideas
Reach for the raindrop when you want an outdoorsy gift. 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 raindrop 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 5.5 by 7.0 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
