Truck
A bold, recognizable truck drawn on the filet grid at 26 by 23, equally at home in children's blankets, playroom decor, and birthday makes. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: beginner
If this is one of your earliest charts, you are in safe territory. The outline is bold and simple, so a small miscount rarely shows in the finished piece.
Yarn and hook
Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine truck panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.
Project ideas
Reach for the truck when you want a children's make. It looks at home on a birthday banner panel and a toddler blanket alike. Crop or enlarge it in the editor so it fits your project exactly.
Who it's for
Stitched for a vehicle-mad toddler, the truck suits a road-trip gift beautifully. Frame it with a border to give a plain gift a finished, considered look.
Size, printing, and scaling
Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 6.5-by-5.8-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. 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.
