Crochet Filet Monkey Happy Dance Graph Chart Free Pattern

This monkey doing a happy dance is sure to put a smile your face! I used the extended double crochet stitch, but use the double or treble if you like that better, I do have a photo tutorial on my pattern page to demonstrate the extended double crochet. This monkey chart is the same size as my frog chart and would make a fun “frogs and monkeys” afghan for a baby.
 
 


Salaam Peace in Arabic Script with lacet butterfly Filet Chart Graph Islam Muslim

This is a pattern that is the Arabic script or abjad for the word Salaam, which translates to Peace. It is suitable for Muslim or Islamic households. The butterfly adds a decorative element and is done in the lacet stitch. It’s easy to eliminate if you choose. I worked vertically for ease of construction as I find that wide pieces tend to buckle. You can use this as a curtain, wall hanging or as a pillow front. Since this pattern is worked long ways, I divided the charts into manageable units.

I used the extended double crochet stitch. I have a link to my photo tutorial on my pattern page if you need to see how the stitch is done, It’s very similar to the double crochet, except that there is one extra step, very easy. Please feel free to use the normal double crochet or even the treble crochet, if you desire.I used a vintage Lee Wards #7 steel hook to make it.


 Modern Owl curtain, wall panel or other decorative element for the home. It is 57 squares across by 100 squares high. I used the extended double crochet stitch which you can find on my pattern page as a photo tutorial. However, the chart or graph can be worked in other stitches, such as the double crochet or the treble crochet.

This owl works up into a 6 inch square when done in #10 thread, a #7 steel hook and the extended double crochet stitch but feel free to a double crochet stitch. It will still work. I also show how to make the chain edging  It's based on an Edwardian pattern in my personal library. The chart lends itself other craft techniques.
