Hello everyone! Filet crochet is a very easy technique once you get the hang of it. It’s quite similar to cross stitch embroidery. You can choose any pixel art shape and turn it into a crochet chart with a few simple steps. This top is very easy to make once you grasp the basics of the filet crochet technique (You can find a tutorial video on my Youtube channel). It’s made up of four pieces: the back and front, joined by two stripes that make up the sides. I am absolutely pleased with the way this top turned out, and how very nice and unique it looks. I hope you try it out yourselves. Stay safe and healthy!
