About the Chef’s Dishcloth
Despite having crocheted for 6 years, I have just now tried filet crochet! It’s exclusively double crochet and chains, where you skip some stitches, that makes the holes.
It’s designed, so it’s a perfect companion for the kitchen towels, which also have the square cubes.
It’s usually made after a diagram, but in this pattern, I have written it down as a “normal” pattern. Then everyone can join in 🙂
Time to produce: 1,5 hours
Skill level: Easy
Size: 25 x 25 cm
For this pattern on Chef’s Dishcloth you have to be able to make the double crochet (dc), chains (ch) and single crochet (sc). There is a speciel technique for turning without the usual turning chains. I have called it “Pretty Turning (pt)”.

Before you get started
There is a special technique you need to use, when turning the work to get the perfectly straight edges. I call it “Pretty Turning (pt)“. You can of course choose to turn the piece in your usual way, but I would recommend you to try this, because it will be quite nice.
Step 1
When you have reached the end of the row, turn around without making turning stitches.
(At the chain in the very beginning, you use a turning chain – otherwise it’s impossible to get the first single crochet in.)
Step 2
Pull a little in the loop, and make a single crochet in the first stitch.
Step 3
On top of that single crochet, you make another: Insert the hook in the back loop of the two loops from the first single crochet and make a single crochet in it.
Step 4
You have now made 2 stitches with the Pretty Turning = 2 pt. This counts as your first stitch.
The holes in the pattern
The holes in the pattern appear by making a chain and skipping a stitch. When you have to crochet on top of the chain (where there is a hole), you crochet around the entire chain – insert crochet hook into the hol,e that has come, and take the yarn back. That’s how you get a nice hole …
(Parantheses) og commas,
When you crochet according to the pattern, there are some different characters you use, so you avoid huge lines. Here I use commas “,” and parentheses “()”.
- At a comma: What stands between commas, you just do as it says.
- At parentheses: What is in between parentheses must be multiplied by the number of times that follows.
If you are new to patterns, then it’s explained here with an example:
EXAMPLE ROW 1 (2 dc, 1 ch, skip 1 stitch) 2 times, 6 dc, turn
This means:
dc, dc, 1 ch, skip 1 stitch, dc, dc, 1 ch, skip 1 stitch, dc, dc, dc, dc, dc, dc, turn
