Scroll Sprig Corner Triangle

A small triangular corner carrying a single curled scroll, read as a stylized sprig against the open mesh. Sized for a handkerchief or collar corner, or as the turning piece for a narrow border. The hypotenuse steps in by about one mesh per row, so follow the chart for each decrease.

Filet crochet chart: small right-triangle corner with a curled scroll motif on open mesh.

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: 18 open meshes (18 meshes in total). Turn.
Row 2: ch 5, 2 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 1 open mesh, 3 filled meshes, 3 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 1 open mesh, 1 filled mesh, 2 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 1 open mesh. Turn. [Shaping: starts 1 mesh narrower than the row before.]
Row 3: ch 5, 2 open meshes, 3 filled meshes, 1 open mesh, 2 filled meshes, 2 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 1 open mesh, 1 filled mesh, 3 open meshes. Turn. [Shaping: ends 1 mesh narrower than the row before.]
Row 4: ch 5, 2 open meshes, 1 filled mesh, 3 open meshes, 3 filled meshes, 1 open mesh, 3 filled meshes, 2 open meshes. Turn. [Shaping: starts 1 mesh narrower 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.
