Blossom and Bud Insertion Repeat

A five-petal blossom with a bud and leaves sits on a diagonal stem between paired solid rails, charted as one square repeat. Worked side by side, the repeats build a straight band the source book shows as an insertion, suited to towel ends or a curtain edge. The rails are continuous filled mesh, and a handful of squares sit just outside the square outline, so mind the shaped edge at the sides of the repeat.

Filet crochet chart: square repeat of a five-petal blossom with bud and leaves on a diagonal stem, framed by paired solid horizontal rails.

Restored, not scanned. Shaped chart — the row edges step in and out. Every row that changes width carries a [Shaping: …] note saying how many meshes wider or narrower it is at its start and end, read straight off the chart. Finished size depends on your thread and tension — swatch first.

Left-handed? These rows are written for right-handed working (odd rows read right to left). Reverse the reading direction of every row, or use the chart maker, which writes the pattern left-handed for you.

Written instructions

How to count. The turning chain at the start of a row stands in for the first stitch of that row's first mesh, and that mesh is already included in the counts below — work only what the counts say, not one mesh more.

About these patterns. Crochetpatternmaker.com is an independent site. The vintage charts in our library are restored from The Priscilla Filet Crochet Book, No. 2 (Priscilla Publishing Company, Boston, 1914), a work in the public domain; we re-charted each design from the original plates and cross-checked it against the printed mesh counts. We are not affiliated with any past or present publisher. The chart maker runs entirely in your browser — images you upload never leave your device. Finished sizes are estimates: filet gauge depends on your thread, hook and tension, so work a small swatch first.
