Materials Needed:
- Crochet thread (size based on personal preference)
- Crochet hook (1.2 mm was used in the example)
Pattern Key:
- dc - double crochet
- ch - chain
- sl st - slip stitch
Pattern Instructions:
Foundation Row:
- Begin by making a chain that is the width of your desired curtain size. It should be divisible by 3 plus 2 extra chains for the base.
For Row 1: Setup Row
- Double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across until the end of the row.
Row 2: Start Filet Pattern
- Chain 3 (acts as first dc), turn your work.
- dc in the next dc.
For a full square with 4 dc:
- dc in next 2 dc, dc in the space between the next two dc (completing 4 dc in total).
For an empty square:
- Chain 2, skip 2 dc, dc in the next dc.
- Continue alternating between full and empty squares as needed for your pattern until you reach the end of the row.
Row 3 and Onward:
- Repeat Row 2 but ensure to align the full and empty squares according to the pattern you desire (e.g., stacking squares directly or offsetting them).
Edging and Ends:
- Once the desired height is achieved, you can choose to create a solid edge by making a row of dc across the top and bottom of the curtain, or any other type of edging pattern you prefer.
Finishing Up:
- Finish off by cutting the thread and weaving in the ends securely.
Additional Tips:
- The chain 3 at the beginning of each row counts as a double crochet.
- Use slip stitches to move across squares where needed without adding height, for a neat appearance on the edges or when transitioning rows.
