Free Filet Crochet Pattern Maker
Turn a photo, silhouette, or name into a filet crochet chart you can work straight from the page. Upload an image (or type a word) and MakeBead converts it into an open-and-filled mesh grid, calculates your starting chain, writes out every row as blocks and spaces, and estimates the finished size from your gauge. Adjust the fill threshold until the motif reads clearly, click any square to flip it, and export a printable PDF chart with written instructions.

功能
Photo to Filet Chart
Upload any image and the fill-threshold slider turns it into a crisp two-tone mesh chart — filled blocks and open spaces, ready to crochet. Dithering adds halftone shading for portraits.
Name & Alphabet Banners
Switch to text input and type a name or word — it becomes a filet chart instantly, in any alphabet. The classic filet name banner without graph paper.
Foundation Chain Math
The written instructions start with your exact foundation chain and turning chains, for classic (dc + ch 2) or small (dc + ch 1) mesh — the numbers beginners get wrong.
Row-by-Row Written Instructions
Every row is written out as blocks and spaces with its reading direction, in the tool and in the PDF, numbered bottom-up to match the chart.
Finished Size & Thread Estimate
Enter your gauge and see the finished size in inches and centimeters before you chain, plus an estimate of how much thread the design uses.
Editable Grid & Printable PDF
Click any mesh to flip it between block and space, then download a print-ready PDF with the chart, legend, and written instructions. Free, no sign-up.
What Is Filet Crochet?
Filet crochet is lace crochet worked on a grid of small square meshes. Each square is either an open mesh (a chain space) or a filled mesh (a block of double crochets), and the contrast between open and filled squares draws the picture. It is traditionally worked in fine cotton thread for curtains, doilies, table runners, name banners, and wall hangings — but the same charts work in yarn for airy blankets.
A filet chart is read from the bottom up: row 1 is the bottom row, odd rows are read one way and even rows the other, following the direction your hook actually travels. The tricky part is the stitch math — the foundation chain depends on how many meshes wide the design is and whether the first mesh is open or filled, and getting it wrong by even one chain skews the whole piece.
A filet crochet pattern maker does the hard parts for you: it converts a photo or name into an accurate open/filled grid, counts your foundation and turning chains, and writes each row out as blocks and spaces. Set your gauge and mesh style, check the finished size, and export a chart you can follow square by square.

常見問題
How do I turn a photo into a filet crochet pattern? ▾
Upload the photo, then drag the fill threshold until the motif reads clearly as filled and open meshes — high-contrast images like silhouettes, line art, and logos work best. Flip any square by hand in the editor, then export the PDF chart with written instructions.
Can I make a filet crochet name pattern? ▾
Yes — switch the input to "From text" and type the name or word. It is laid out as filled letters on an open mesh ground (or the reverse), sized in whole meshes, and gets the same foundation-chain math and written instructions as any chart. Accented letters and non-Latin alphabets work too.
How many chains do I start with? ▾
The written instructions calculate it for you. For classic mesh a chart that is M meshes wide starts with 3×M+5 chains when row 1 begins with an open mesh, or 3×M+3 when it begins with a filled mesh; small mesh uses 2×M+4 and 2×M+3. The first line of your instructions states the exact number and which chain to work the first dc into.
What is the difference between classic and small mesh? ▾
Classic mesh is dc + ch 2 (each mesh spans 3 stitches) — the traditional look with clearly open holes. Small mesh is dc + ch 1 (2 stitches per mesh) — denser, so motifs read more solidly. Pick the style in the tool; the chain math and turning chains update automatically.
How do I read a filet crochet chart? ▾
Bottom up, alternating direction: row 1 is the bottom of the chart read left to right, row 2 right to left, and so on — the written instructions print the direction arrow for every row. A filled square is a block (dc group), an empty square is a space (chain mesh).
How much thread do I need? ▾
The materials list estimates balls of thread from the mesh count, assuming size 10 crochet cotton (~350 yd per ball). Treat it as a starting point and check your own gauge swatch — tension and thread size change usage a lot.
Can I edit the chart after converting? ▾
Yes. Open Edit Pattern and click or drag across meshes to flip them between block and space — clean up stray pixels, thicken outlines, or sign your initials into a corner.
What size will my finished piece be? ▾
Enter your gauge (meshes and rows per 4 in / 10 cm — the default matches size 10 thread in classic mesh) and the tool shows the finished width and height in inches and centimeters, updating as you resize the chart.
Can I use yarn instead of crochet thread? ▾
Absolutely. Filet charts are thread-agnostic — worked in worsted yarn with a bigger hook the same chart becomes an airy blanket or curtain panel. Just swatch and enter your own gauge so the finished-size estimate stays honest.
Is the filet crochet pattern maker free? ▾
Yes, completely free. No sign-up needed — convert photos and names and export unlimited filet charts.
