Greetings community, happy #NeedleWorkMonday, today I show you a table mat with the Hive logo made with the crochet filet technique, I made this to give it to my mother who has a small table in the living room, but it is a pleasure to share the chart I made and the general instructions on how to do it.
Patrón / Graphic pattern
The motivation I live because I was seeing a girl on social networks who knit with the crochet filet technique and I remembered that I have not put it into practice for a long time, I also have the graphic that I made to have the button with the Hive logo in Jacquard technique two needles that I posted a while ago, this same graphic can be taken to filet so what I did was draw it again but digitally so that everyone who wants to can download it and even print it.
Técnica Filet Crochet / Filet Crochet Technique
The filet crochet technique is very simple, we only knit squares and some of these squares are empty while others are filled to form the figure, the squares are formed in the graph by vertical lines and horizontal lines, which must be interpreted in the weaving is that each vertical line in the square is a double crochet and each horizontal line represents the separation by two chains.
To make the starting chains, you only have to count the boxes in the first horizontal row, the box number is multiplied by three and the result is added one, then the exact number of chains to start is obtained. In this graph there are 21 squares, therefore (21 x 3) + 1 = 64 chains.
Ronda de inicial / Initial round
For the beginning of each round you should work three chains to replace the first double crochet and two more chains for the separation.
Only in the first round to have the first double crochet you should put the needle in the chain number 8, after knitting a double crochet two separating chains are knitted and the next double crochet is made in the third chain counted from the previous stitch. and so on until the end. In the other rounds the double crochets are made by inserting the needle in the double crochet of the previous round.
Rellenar cuadros / Fill squares
Following the graph, when you find a filled square, what you have to do is instead of knitting two separating chains you should knit two double crochets, putting the needle in the hole left by in the square of the previous round parallel to this .
Proceso / Process
I was weaving on a table that did not allow the figure in the photo to be seen very well, so in some photos I took the fabric with my hand so that the figure in the photograph could be seen in the contrast with the wall.
Ronda de borde / Edge round
Once the complete graphic was woven, I made a round around the edge of the table mat, this round is optional, however it can add more beauty to the woven piece, it is to the taste of the person, they can use fan stitches, with in my case In the middle of the fans I made some peaks, the decorative border then has three high points is a square, a peak and then three double crochets in the next square and separating a low point in the next square. The last thing I did was iron the mat so that the threads would take their shape better.
Resultado / Result
My mother was delighted with the result of once putting it on her table in the living room, likewise I took advantage of taking a photo of it in the shade of the mat when by accident I discovered that the mat produced a very beautiful shadow.
