Kim has a video tutorial, as well as, photos and written instructions showing you how to Filet Crochet using multiple techniques – including one-chain method, two-chain method and treble-crochet method. You will also learn how to read graphs and have practise projects to try. When you are ready Kim also has a number of free patterns for Filet Crochet available on her site.

You may also want to try Hairpin Lace – check out this fantastic round up by Tamara of Moogly – included is a link to a video tutorial showing you how to correctly work Hairpin Lace Stitches.

It is also important to note when you are viewing the Vintage Crochet Patterns available online, they are often using British (UK) Crochet Terms – so be sure to check where the book was published before you begin. It will save you a lot of time and confusion.
