Susan Lowman is the author of this brief pattern booklet, which offers you several impressive filet crochet charts for making a variety of pictorial squares. This book was originally published as a staple-bound softcover; it is an older Leisure Arts book that is now out of print in physical format. However, it is still available as a digital download for the Kindle reader, so I recommend it to Kindle owners who are looking for truly spectacular filet crochet designs.

Farmhouse Crochet by Gooseberry Patch

Farmhouse Crochet includes 3 easy filet crochet patterns plus a variety of other crochet projects. The filet crochet projects are as follows:

Red and White Dishcloth — This pattern is a variation on the basic filet crochet mesh, and therefore no chart is needed for working it. This is a useful, practical design that’s great to have in your pattern library.

Filet Crochet Apple Potholder — This charming apple design is crocheted in two contrasting layers. The upper layer is a charted apple motif that you can work using the filet crochet technique. The lower layer is easy, relaxing double crochet stitches. You join the two layers by holding them together to work a dainty edging around the outside of the pieces.

Filet Crochet Cherries Potholder — This design is similar to the apple potholder described above. You could work one of each design for a coordinating set, or you could make two of each to have matched sets. These make great housewarming or holiday gifts for loved ones.
