Materials:
*Bedspread Weight cotton thread (size 10) or smaller if you prefer-any color
*Optional for edging: small amount of size 10 thread (white) or whichever color you like
*Steel Crochet Hook: Size 8 (or the size you prefer when using size 10 thread. If using size 20 or 30 thread, be sure to adjust your hook size accordingly.)

Note: This is a basic filet pattern. Spaces = ch 2, skip 2 sts, 1 dc in next st; Blocks = 3 dc in next 3 sts. Odd numbered rows are worked from right to left and even numbered rows are worked from left to right.

I like to do filet project starting at the bottom of a chart and working my way up to the top. Good luck! :)

The pic is here. On one side, I did Version 1's of the edging on Rnd 2 and on the other side, I did Version 2's edging. Edging is optional and there are 2 different edgings featured on this pattern on Rnd 2 of the edging. :)
