there’s nothing like older patterns making things a bit more complicated than needed, but these designs are invaluable and gorgeous!

A great collection of patterns with some written instructions and charts. The basic idea of what filet crochet is, tips on hook size and yarn and how to get started. I’m trying a simple beginner one that was suggested in the book. Hoping it will serve as a decent bookmark. :-)

Some nice patterns but more valuable for techniques, explanations, and generating ideas. My only quibble is that I would have liked to have seen more on borders.

This is a classic reference book for both technique and pattern. Great for those interested in learning the skill or working with archetypal patterns (as there are many referenced in the book).

A most excellent resource for patterns, ideas and tips for working in filet crochet style; A virtual treasure chest of patterns from the simple to extraordinary.
