From the description: Soft and romantic, this updated version of “filet” crochet (think your granny’s tablecloth) is a perfect complement to your wardrobe. Simple rib stitch and a wool/cotton yarn keep the knit body snug, while the crochet top and bottom provide a touch of texture. The only challenge here is learning to read the filet chart, but once that’s mastered, the project’s a breeze.
