Free filet crochet chart

Filet Crochet Greek Key Border

A meander border that repeats four times across the chart width. Filet is unusually good at this because the whole motif is right angles on a grid — no curve to approximate. Work it along a towel edge or as a blanket border.

Written pattern

Row by row, in sp/bl notation.

  • Open mesh (sp) = dc, ch 2, skip 2; block (bl) = 3 dc plus the shared boundary dc — a row of n cells always totals 3n + 1 dc.
  • Foundation: ch 3x(cells) + 3 if Row 1 starts with a block (turning ch-3 counts as first dc), or + 5 if it starts with a space (first dc in 8th ch from hook).
  • Turn with ch 3 (counts as dc) before a block, ch 5 (counts as dc + ch 2) before a space.
