About this generator

Filet crochet is a grid of double-crochet posts and chain spaces where each square is either filled or open. Because the fabric is pixels, it is the classic way to crochet a name, a word, or a saying into a baby blanket, a curtain, or a wall hanging. Every letter is drawn on graph paper, usually on a 5-wide by 7-tall grid, with one open column between letters and two or three between words. A name like EMMA is about 23 squares wide before the border.

The names and words in this list chart well: most are short, few lean on diagonals, and they carry the sentiments crocheters stitch, such as baby names, Home Sweet Home, Bless This House, family surnames with an Est. year, and room labels for kitchen and bathroom curtains. Traditional filet motifs (Rose Border, Filet Swan, Filet Angel) are included because a name panel is usually framed by one. The list also covers holiday greetings, wedding wording, pet panels, maker tags such as Made With Love, and welcome words in other languages.

To turn any name here into a pattern, sketch it on graph paper, count the squares across, and multiply by three for your foundation chain, then add a plain border of at least three meshes so the letters do not crowd the edge.

Tips for choosing a name

  • Choose names of six letters or fewer for a baby blanket; longer names force smaller meshes or a much wider blanket to stay readable.
  • Use a plain block alphabet (5 by 7 meshes per letter) for the cleanest results. Script fonts look elegant on paper but blur into the mesh in worsted yarn.
  • Leave one open mesh column between letters and at least two between words; letters that touch become unreadable at arm's length.
  • Chart the name on graph paper first, then count meshes across and multiply by 3 for the foundation chain (plus 3 to turn); write the count on the chart so you can restart if you lose your place.
  • Rounded letters like B, O, S, and 8 need at least 7 rows to look right; if your name is all rounded letters, consider a 7 by 9 alphabet.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a filet crochet chart of a name?

Draw the name on graph paper using filled squares for the letters, one blank column between letters, and a border of blank meshes around the whole thing. Each square becomes one mesh: a filled mesh is three double crochets, an open mesh is a double crochet, two chains, and a double crochet.

How many chains do I need to start a filet name panel?

Count the meshes across your chart (letters plus spacing plus border), multiply by three, and add three for the turning chain. A 25-mesh-wide chart, for example, starts with a chain of 78.

Which letters or names are hardest in filet crochet?

Letters with diagonals (K, V, W, X, Y, Z) look jagged in a small grid, and rounded letters need extra rows. Names like ANNA, ELLA, and MILO chart beautifully; names like XAVIER or WYATT need a taller alphabet.

Can I sell filet crochet name blankets made from these ideas?

Yes. Names, words, and common sayings are not copyrighted, so items you chart and crochet yourself are yours to sell. Only avoid copying a designer's published chart or trademarked logo verbatim.
