Wave and Cross Corner
A triangular corner with a straight heading bar and a running wave line dotted with small crosses, with partial motifs meeting the diagonal edge. It turns the corner of a matching border on a towel, runner, or handkerchief. The diagonal steps down about one mesh per row, so work each decrease as charted rather than by count.

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.

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.
