Filet Crochet

Sat 31 Oct | 10am – 4pm | £30 

Filet crochet is a beautiful lace technique using chains and treble stitches to create delicate, vintage-style designs. By working with filled and open mesh spaces and following simple charts, you can form intricate motifs for decorative pieces. In this one-day workshop, you’ll learn the foundations of filet crochet through a series of small practice samples. Explore how to read charts, translate blocks into stitches, and keep your mesh even and neat, progressing from simple shapes to picturebased patterns. Ideal for confident crocheters, this workshop opens up a creative new technique. 
A full list of materials will be emailed to participants prior to the class.
