Nested Triangle Corner

Nested right-angle bands step down parallel to the diagonal, framing the corner in concentric lines. A corner motif for a collar or handkerchief edge; each band meets the shaped edge mid-line, so verify the decrease against the chart every row to keep the lines unbroken.

Filet crochet chart: triangular corner motif of nested right-angle bands stepping down parallel to the diagonal edge.

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.
Row 1: 1 open mesh (1 meshes in total). Turn.
Row 2: ch 5, 2 open meshes. Turn. [Shaping: starts 1 mesh wider than the row before.]
Row 3: ch 5, 3 open meshes. Turn. [Shaping: ends 1 mesh wider than the row before.]
Row 4: ch 5, 2 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 1 open mesh. Turn. [Shaping: starts 1 mesh wider than the row before.]
Row 5: ch 5, 1 open mesh, 2 filled meshes, 2 open meshes. Turn. [Shaping: ends 1 mesh wider than the row before.]
Row 6: ch 5, 2 open meshes, 3 filled meshes, 1 open mesh. Turn. [Shaping: starts 1 mesh wider than the row before.]

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.
