Hearts Filet Bookmark
Sally Ives, May 2003

Basic Filet Instructions:  Always start with ch3 for the first dc.  After this:  block (bl) over bl=dc in 3dc.  bl over space (sp)=2dc in space,dc in next dc.  Sp over bl=ch2, skip 2 dc, dc in next.  Sp over sp=ch2, dc in next dc.

Materials:  bedspread weight cotton (size 10) I used Clea from Circulo Yarns
steel crochet hook size 1.00mm

NOTE:  Work graph right to left on odd rows, left to right on even rows.

Row 1:  Ch32, dc in 5th ch from hook.  (Ch 2, sk 2, dc in next) across.  9 spaces.
Row2:  Ch 5 (counts as dc plus ch2) sk 2 sts, dc in next.  (ch2, sk 2, dc in next st) twice, dc in 3 sts.  Ch2, sk 2, dc in next st.  Dc in 3 sts, (ch2, sk 2, dc in next st) three times. 

Continue working, following graph.  Diamonds= blocks, Circles=spaces.
