Our Lady Guadalupe Filet Shawl

I was asked to make a shawl using the same pattern as my friends grandmother made a wall hanging of 99 years ago.. this is what I came up with..

Our Lady Guadalupe Filet Shawl

This pattern can be used with any yarn and corresponding hook size, if you choose to use thread I would recommend doubling the thread to keep a wearable size. 
 

I used a worsted weight yarn and H / 5.00mm hook 

1200 yards of Yarn Bee's Rose Bud

 This pattern is written using American terms.

Ch 293

1 ) dc in fifth ch from hook, *ch1, skip 1, dc in next st, * repeat to end 145 mesh spaces

2 ) ch1, skip the first stitch at base of ch 1 just made, slip stitch into ch, slip stitch into dc ( counts as decrease at start of row ), ch 4, dc into next dc, *ch 1, dc into next dc* repeat to last mesh sp, do not work last mesh space ( counts as the decrease at the end of row )

Work four rows as row 2 before starting chart. 
Continue to decrease as established while working chart.

Filet Crochet Cross Chart

Filet crochet has been on my "to learn" list for ages now..

 this is my first go at making my own ..

started out simple..

with time allowing I hope to get more complex designs going although I plan on keeping them to a smaller size..

 we'll see how it goes..

                                                             not pressed in this photo

I then added a few leaves a vine and a rose, after putting a single crochet overlay around the cross..

 

I used a size US B1/2.25mm hook and size 10 crochet cotton thread.. each block is 3 dc's ( last on counting as the first in the next ).. it can be used in other counts.. however you like.. I had learned this method with a bookmark I had just done so gave it a whirl.
