Eye
Eye as a tidy 26 by 18 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.

Skill level: easy
This sits just above an absolute beginner make. The design has a little more shaping to count, but the lines stay clean and forgiving once you settle into the rhythm.
Yarn and hook
For a larger eye, 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
Use the eye 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 eye lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 6.5 by 4.5 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.
