Camera
Camera as a tidy 28 by 22 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: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine camera panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen and crisp stitch definition that suits the clean block edges of filet.
Project ideas
Use the camera as a clean single icon or a tidy repeat. It suits a modern accent panel and works just as well on a sampler block. Scale the grid up for a centrepiece or tile the motif for an all-over effect.
Who it's for
Think of yourself, and occasions like a last-minute gift — the camera lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 7.0-by-5.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. 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.
