About the pattern

In this pattern, we use the well-loved technique of filet crochet to create a beautifully patterned wrap or rectangle shawl that will keep you warm and show off your skills.

The filet crochet shawl pattern is inspired by elegant smocking embroidery patterns from my native Romania.

It consists of one pattern repeat which can be repeated as many times as you want, to create a intricate and elegant filet crochet wrap with abstract lace designs.

You can work this pattern in regular filet crochet or in Tunisian filet crochet.

The pattern includes short and full written instructions, a filet chart and a chart with crochet symbols, perfect for beginners.
