Artist palette
Artist palette as a tidy 28 by 27 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 artist palette 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
Reach for the artist palette when you want a sampler. It looks at home on a tote-bag motif and a quick gift square alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a colleague, the artist palette suits a personal accent beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
At a 4-mesh-per-inch gauge the chart finishes around 7.0 by 6.8 inches; a finer thread shrinks it and a heavier yarn grows it, so check your own gauge first. 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.
