Learn how to Filet Crochet with Color
In this Crochet-Along, you will learn how to use colored thread in Filet Crochet to accent
the look of your lace. Six different techniques are presented. Some of them work on patterns that are specially
designed for the color, like patchwork pieces or
doilies crocheted from the center. Several of the techniques
can be used on any Filet patterns you own, to give them a totally new look. This makes it easy to personalize your
work. So have some fun and pull out your leftover colored thread.
Here's how the Crochet-Along works
Join us each weekend and learn a new technique as you Crochet the featured doily.
This Crochet-Along is offered over 6 lessons to give you more time to complete each project.
Access and print the Lessons at your leisure. We'll keep the Crochet-Along online a while to give you
time to print all lessons. If you join the class after we started, you can access and
print all the lessons available up to that point.
