A Free Crochet Pattern
This is a pretty little design that can add some impact to your front door or entry way. I made a simple diagram for the filet part, and it is also written out. Basic stitches that you need to know to completely finish the project are: ch st, dc, sc, shell st, sl st, and fdc.
You do not have to use embroidery floss for the flowers, left over size 10 crochet thread works great too.
Also I left it out in the rain one day, and it re-dried misshaped, so it would be advisable to keep it dry once it is hardened.

Notes: A mesh consists of a dc, ch 2, dc. A block consists of 4 dc. The end of a mesh is the start of a block so if you make a mesh it would be dc, ch 2 sk 2 stitches and dc. A block would be the dc just made plus 2 dc in the ch spaces or 2 dcs, dc in next dc. (I'm pretty sure I just confused you more.)

If someone really wanted this to be weather proof, or at least resistant, it could be heavily sprayed with a clear acrylic spray paint, like Rustoleum. I sprayed a wooden cane I decaled with Rustoleum & it worked great. You would need at least 3 good coatings, but it would be worth it for protection against the weather which can cause damage even if it is hung in a fairly sheltered area. I hope this helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks that is a great idea.
