Flag
Flag as a tidy 17 by 16 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for game-day throws, team gifts, and sporty kids' projects. 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
A great place to start filet crochet. The motif is forgiving, the blocks are easy to count, and the design still looks polished once it is blocked.
Yarn and hook
At this size the flag shines in fine size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook; the tight gauge holds every block crisp. A solid, light colour shows the mesh best; high-contrast yarns make the design pop in photos and in the finished fabric.
Project ideas
Whether you are making a game-day throw or a team-colour cushion, the flag drops in cleanly, ideal for a club fundraiser. Set it on its own, pair it with a matching motif, or run a row of them along an edge.
Who it's for
A flag panel makes a thoughtful handmade gift for a coach, and it fits naturally with a player's birthday. Add a name or date in editable bitmap lettering to make it a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.3 by 4.0 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Print the numbered grid to follow row by row, or open it in the editor to crop, enlarge, or tile the design before exporting a PDF or PNG.
