Butterfly Trapped in a Filet Netting

 

The symbol for transition or resurrection or re-birth, is the butterfly. Theses colorful creatures are inspirational and uplifting. They represent the evolution of the soul and exude freedom. If you are choosing a new path of destiny, the butterfly is a powerful animal totem.

I like using the extended double crochet stitch in my filet work. It gives me a more square piece.

Bee trapped in filet crochet

 

Bees are flying insects closely related to wasps and ants. Bees are known for their role in pollination and for producing honey and beeswax. Bees are essential for crops. Bees feed on nectar from flowers and often form large social colonies. And where would the birds be without them???

Here is a single bee trapped in a filet netting. The project will work up fast! It's only 25x25 spaces.

Cats Playing Ball Filet Chart Curtain Doily

Originally published in1922 by The Queenslander, this pattern had no actual chart, but a photograph of the filet with row by row counts for a turn-corner and insertion lace. I re-charted the main cats, each is a mirror image.
 The original pattern was written in British terms. Ravelry is hosting the original pattern also under “Cat and Ball Insertion”. I simplified the image so that anyone can make it. I also used the extended double crochet stitch, but feel free to use a double or treble if you like.
