This style is loosely based on the filet crochet technique using alternating rows of open and closed mesh rows. The open mesh consists of creating open spaces using double crochet and chains. The closed mesh rows are plain double crochet stitches worked across the previous row.

You’ll find that the repeat rows and basic stitches are easy to master. It’s a great pattern for a confident beginner. For additional guidance, I’ve included a video tutorial on my YouTube channel, where you can follow along with each step.
