Learn how to Crochet with a larger Mesh
If you like Filet Crochet, you just have to join in on this Crochet-Along. You'll learn how to
Crochet a larger Mesh (about 1/3 larger than the regular Filet Mesh). Some patterns are specially designed for the
larger Crochet Mesh. But you can use all the Filet patterns you already own, and Crochet them using the larger
Mesh. Since your finished piece will be about 1/3 larger than usual, it is perfect to make larger items such as
Curtains, Tablecloths or Table Toppers.
Here's how the Crochet-Along works
In 6 step-by-step lessons, you can Crochet the beautiful Swan Lake Round Doily and Curtain. Together, they form a
matched set.
If you're intimidated in learning new stitches, don't be! You get to Practice the new stitches on a smaller
Coaster first. You can try it as many times as you need to feel comfortable before you move on to the larger practice
Square Doily. Once you've mastered the techniques, then move on to Crochet the Round Swan Lake Doily and Swan Lake Curtain.
Join us on Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday (over two weeks) as we offer the Filet Crochet instructions for
the next few rows of these patterns. 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.
If you ever have any questions, then help is not far away. You can 1) write a message on the Message Board,
or 2) Send an email to Hardy. You're never alone.
The Crochet-Alongs are a lot of fun! It's easier to learn in a group. Don't forget to
tell your friends about the Crochet-Along so they can join in too.
