Hello everyone! Filet crochet is a very easy technique once you get the hang of it. It's quite similar to cross stitch embroidery. You can choose any pixel art shape and turn it into a crochet chart with a few simple steps. I've explained all of this to the best of my ability in a video posted on my YouTube channel (see below). I decided to make a step-by-step tutorial for this technique after most of the comment I received on one of my earlier designs, my RoseRelief Shawl, were questions about how to follow the chart or how to do filet crochet. Now, I finally have the means to explain it using this post. This top is very easy to make once you grasp the basics of the filet crochet technique. It's made up of four pieces: the back and front, joined by two stripes that make up the sides. I am absolutely pleased with the way this top turned out, and how very nice and unique it looks. I hope you try it out yourselves. Stay safe and healthy!
