Music note
A single eighth note with a filled head and a flag, a tidy little icon for music lovers. It lines up into a staff of repeating notes along a scarf or border. Open it in the editor to join two notes with a beam, lengthen the stem, or scatter notes across a panel, then export a PNG or print the chart for stitching.

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 music note 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
Use the music note 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 music note lands well for both. Pair it with letters from the alphabet set to personalise the finished piece.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 6.0 by 6.5 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. You can print a numbered chart as-is, or adjust the grid in the editor and export it in whichever format your project needs.
