Bookmark
Bookmark as a tidy 18 by 20 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for quick gift squares, modern accents, and sampler blocks. 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
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine bookmark panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
The bookmark is a natural fit for a sampler: try it on a sampler block, or a tote-bag motif. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The bookmark is an easy win when you are making something for a friend or marking a quick make. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 4.5-by-5.0-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
