Openwork Sprig Point

A tall triangular point worked mostly in filled mesh, with a sprig and notched detailing reserved as open squares out of the solid ground. Suits a pendant point on a border or the shaped end of an insertion; this reverse-style work is heavy on thread, and both the notched left edge and stepped diagonal need a chart check at every row.

Filet crochet chart: tall solid triangular point with an openwork sprig and notched edge picked out in open squares on a filled ground.

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.
