Instructions: Starting at the bottom of
the pattern, chain 157. Chain 3 to turn which will count as the
first double crochet of the first row. Double crochet in the 5th
chain from your hook. Double crochet in the next two chains to
complete the bottom right solid square of row 1. Continue following
pattern for the first row reading pattern right to left. After
completing the first row, chain 3 to turn to start the next row.
Continue following pattern until all rows are complete. At the end of
row 90 fasten off.
Materials: Worsted weight yarn: 1544
yards. Steel crochet hook US size I or SIZE FOR GAUGE.
Approximate Finished Sizes:
Using worsted weight yarn: Width = 48
inches Height = 60 inches
Gauge: Using worsted weight yarn: 10
squares = 9.1 inches, 10 rows = 6.7 inches
How to read the pattern:
Each solid square is equal to 4 double
crochets. Each open square is equal to 1 double crochet followed by
two chains followed by 1 double crochet. The double crochet at the
end of each square also counts as the first double crochet of the
next square. For example, a solid square followed by an open square
equals 4 double crochets, 2 chains, 1 double crochet. See diagram.
MORE TIPS To Simplify pattern:
Follow odd rows R→L and even rows
L→R.
The
first solid block of every row counts as 4 DC. Each following solid
block of the row counts as 3 DC. Each open block counts as chain 2,
DC (skipping two chains and stitching in the third, forming the open
space.)

to learn how to use my graph patterns in filet crochet and other
methods such as C2C with two colors, Double Crochet in two colors,
Mosaic Crochet, and the Popcorn stitch. *Keep in mind that any
approximate dimensions given in this pattern apply only to using the
graphs as a single color filet crochet pattern. Using them with
alternate methods will adjust the size and may require additional
creativity or skill level adding extra rows or borders to maintain
targeted dimension ratios.
