For this tutorial you will need your selected yarn you will need a corresponding crochet hook I'm
using a four and a half millimeter today you will need a pair of scissors and a darning needle to
sew in the ends the written instructions for this pattern will be found in issue six of your crochet
and knitting magazine which is a brand new kit magazine for all yarn lovers it features knitting
and crochet patterns as well things like soft toys blankets home decor all sorts of things so I'll
leave a link in the description box below so that you can go and check that out please remember if
you like my tutorials make sure that you subscribe and click that Bell button to be notified of when
my new videos go live so you want to begin by creating your slipknot and you can do this in
whichever method you prefer go ahead and insert your hook so for this particular pattern we're
going to chain in multiples of 12 and then add some more on the end so you're going to go ahead
and yarn over pull through yarn over pull through yarn over pull through that's three four five six
go ahead and keep repeating that in blocks of 12 until you get to your desired length or go ahead
and chain twenty four like I'm doing because this is going to ultimately work out to be a square so
pause the video and meet me back in just a moment so I've gone ahead and chained my twelve stitches
we're going to add one for the pattern repeat and then we're going to add two more to count as our
first stitches so that is adding three more in total so first of all what we're going to do is
a treble crochet into the fourth chain from the hook so remember I'm working in UK terms in the
US this is known as double crochet so were going to count four chains back so not the one that's on
the hook one two three and four and were going to do a treble crochet into here so yarn over
insert yarn over pull through you'll have three loops on the hook yarn over pull through two and
yarn over pull through two and we're going to do that another five times so were going to move into
the next chain and do a treble so that's one into the next one two three four and five so now that
we've just done those first few stitches we're actually going to work on the filet section of
this square so filet crochet is basically just creating holes in your work so that it creates
a pattern so this is a very basic version and once you get more confident you can try different
shapes but let's go ahead and start making this section now so after you've done your six treble
crochets so one we did that chain two we did that first treble and then I asked you to do five more
we are going to chain one skip a chain and then do a treble into that next chain so we've just
created a gap in our work we're now going to do that again chain one skip a chain and then do
a treble into that next chain so now we have two spaces and we're going to do that once more chain
one skip a chain and do a treble into that next chain so now we have our three open sections and
now we're going to repeat that pattern again so we're going to do 1 treble crochet into the next
6 chains so 1 2 3 4 5 & 6 and then we're going to repeat that filet section so we're going to
chain one skip one and treble crochet chain one skip one and treble crochet and chain one skip
one and treble crochet so that last treble crochet should be into that very first chain of the row so
there you go that is your row number one now we're on to row two and what we're going to do is chain
four one two three four and turn that chain four is classing the first three as a treble crochet
and then the chain to move over into the top of this treble so were going to create that first
gap there and we're going to go straight into the top of the next treble with our treble crochet so
go ahead and insert your hook and treble chain one go into the next treble and chain one and
into the next treble now what we want to do is do one treble into the next six treble crochets 1 2
3 4 5 & 6 we have reached the section where we do our filet crochet so chain 1 and treble into
the next treble and chain 1 and treble into the next and chain 1 and treble into the next and now
what we want to do is do one treble into each of these all the way to the end so 1 2 3 4 5
and then the last one is going to be into this chain three from the previous row so go ahead
and insert and six so you'll have seven trebles in total on that block so if I just bring this
here what we are looking at at the moment is these first two rows we're going to do one more row to
complete this filet section just here and then we're going to change things up a little bit
so we're on row three now and what you want to do is chain three one two three and turn we're
now going to do a treble crochet into this first treble just here so we're not working into the one
at the base of the treble and because we're on the block section we are going to do a treble crochet
into each of these trebles until we hit the filet section so I have three more here two more and
last one so I hope you get to grips with how this works now now that we're at the filet section we
are going to chain one and do a treble into the top of this treble and chain one and treble and
chain one and treble so go ahead and pause the video work across in the same principle 1 treble
into each of this block section and then you're filet crochet where you chain 1 treble chain
1 treble chain 1 and treble so meet me back at the end of this row so I'm about to work my last
stitch into this filet section I thought I would come on here and show you where to go if you're
struggling so essentially we want to miss a chain and work into the third chain from the bottom of
this chain 4 that we did and go ahead and do your treble into there so now we are on to row 4 and
this is where we change it up a little bit so if we just look at our work here we are now going
to swap around where we do our filet section and our solid section so what we want to do is chain
three one two and three turn our work and then the first treble that we're going to do is going
to be in this chain space just here so go ahead and do your treble and then we're going to go
into the top of the next treble into the chain space into the treble and into the chain space
now what we're going to do is start off this filet crochet section again so what we want to do first
of all is do a treble into this first treble just here we're go into chain 1 skip a treble and then
do a treble into the next one chain one skip a treble treble into the next stitch now we have
created two spaces we're going to chain one skip one and then treble into that last stitch of that
solid section so we've now started that filet section again now what we want to do is do a
treble into the chain one space treble into the top of the next stitch into the chain one into
the top of the next stitch into the chain one and then our first stitch is going to be in this first
treble and we'll create our filet section again so chain one skip a stitch treble into the next
stitch chain one skip a stitch treble into the next and chain one skip a stitch treble into the
last stitch so this is going to be a chain one so it will look slightly different you just want to
go into the top of that chain so now we're going to do row five and for this row we are going to
do exactly the same as what row two was so we're going to chain four one two three and four turn
our work we're going to do a treble into the top of this treble because that's a stitch plus a
chain so treble into this treble stitch chain 1 treble into the next stitch chain one and then
treble into the next stitch we're going to add to our block section so one treble into each of these
next trebles two three four five and six and then you're going to go ahead and finish off this row
in the same principle so chain 1 treble chain 1 treble chain 1 treble trebles all the way to the
end pause the video and meet me back in just a moment so I've now finished that fifth row and
we're going onto our sixth row and you want to chain three and turn and do one treble in to this
block section so one treble into each of the blocks section one two three four five and six
we've then come up to the filet section so chain one skip this chain one space and do a treble into
the top of the next treble chain one treble in to the next treble and chain one and treble in
to the next treble repeat that principle all the way to the end so trebles into the each this block
section and then you're filet crochet chain 1 treble chain 1 treble chain 1 treble so pause
the video work your way to the end and meet me back in just a moment okay so that's row 6 done
I'm now going to show you row 7 so for row 7 we're now going back on to making this section a block
section because we've got our three rows of the filet just here so you're going to chain three one
two three turn the work and this row will always be slightly different because we're changing the
pattern slightly so we're going to do a treble into the chain two space just as we did before
treble into the top of the next stitch a treble into the chain two space and a treble into the
top of the next stitch and then a treble into the chain space sorry I think I said chain two space
here I just meant chain space now we're going to do a treble into this first treble and go into
the filet so chain one skip one treble chain one skip one and treble chain one skip one and treble
and you're just going to repeat that all the way until the end you would just go straight into the
chain one just here so if I just grab this piece just here essentially what you're going to do is
just keep building your rows so you have a block section and a filet section over and over again
so after you've done row 7 you're then going to repeat rows 2 to 7 over and over again until you
get to your desired size obviously if you are doing just this size then you would do 3 6
9 rows in total and finish on that ninth row so there you go that is an introduction to filet
crochet I really hope that you have enjoyed this tutorial don't forget to subscribe if you
