Medal
Medal as a tidy 19 by 20 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
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
For a larger medal, 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
Reach for the medal when you want a bedroom accent. It looks at home on a kids' bedroom panel and a game-day throw alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a young athlete, the medal suits the new season beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 4.8 by 5.0 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.
