All Souls' Day place setting pattern

Hello All,
I've been trying to explain a simple way to understanding crochet filet. It took me awhile to get it down and with the help of this pattern you will too.



Materials:
Any worsted weight yarn
Size G or F crochet hook
Scissors
Tapestry needle

abbreviation:
SC=Single crochet
CH=Chain
DC=Double Crochet
ST=Stitch(es)
BO=Bind Off

Crochet Filet equation: Inside each empty block are two stitches depending on them being filled using two double crochets as well as using a double crochet in between each block.

19 block X 3 stitches per block + 5 Chains for each end =62 stitches you need to chain to start.

Step 1: Ch 62 st
Step 2:DC into 8st from ch
Step 3:Ch 2 times then skip two stitches and DC into next stitch until end forming 19 blocks.
Step 4:Ch 5 times on top of the last 19th block then skip two stitches and DC into next stitch. Do this until you have three rows of boxes.
Step 5: Make 8 DC box
Step 6: DC 2 times into three boxes as well as in between.
Step7: Follow chart below on when to fill in boxes and when to not.

October is breast cancer awareness month.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between ages 40 and 55.

In honor of the women that haved lived or are living with this battle. Yarn companies like lion brand are selling knit for life kits. Its for a great cause to go down to Joann fabric and buy some nice pink yarn and make a great hat or scarf to sport for the season.

I'm starting a new topic called pattern round up for each month from now on so not to be neglectful and to keep myself blogging daily.
