Flower Insertion in Filet Crochet

Free crochet pattern with chart

A band of filet crochet from 1914, 32 meshes wide: a five-petal flower with an open ring at its heart, a stem and two leaves, set between double lines of solid mesh. The book gives only the block pattern and a photo, with no written rows, so here every row is written out and counted. It is worked across the narrow way, 34 rows to a flower, and the 34 rows repeat for as long a band as you want.

Reading this chart

Each square is one mesh. A filled square is a block of dc; an open square is a space of ch 2.
Start at the bottom, where the chart says to start, and turn at the end of every row.
Right-handed, the first row reads from right to left; each row after it reverses.
Left-handed, the first row reads from left to right; each row after it reverses.

Materials

Thread, 1914: None is named for this piece. The book says "Any good thread is suitable" and lists sizes of Cordonnet crochet cotton with the hook for each. Today's crochet thread in the same size number is the nearest match.
Hook, 1914: The book's list pairs No. 50 cotton with a No. 12 hook, for example. The 1 mm hook on this page is a guide; old steel hook sizes varied from maker to maker.
Size, 1914: No size is given. By the book's list, No. 50 cotton works up at about 7 1/2 meshes to the inch, which would make the 32 meshes about 4 1/4 inches wide. The book adds that the number is only approximate, since the size of crochet varies with the worker.

The 1914 original

As it was printed

The Priscilla Filet Crochet Book No. 2 · Fig. 40, the block pattern (printed page 17), with Fig. 37, the photo of the made piece (printed page 16)
Fig. 40. (See Fig. 37) 32 meshes

The 1914 block pattern: a grid of filled and open squares showing a flower, stem and leaves between double solid lines — The block pattern, Fig. 40 in the 1914 book, captioned "32 meshes". Our chart is this one given a quarter turn to the left, so that each line is one row.

The 1914 stitch names

The book is written in American terms, and its mesh is the usual filet mesh of today. It counts a block as 4 d because it counts the post on each side; we count the 3 dc a block adds after the post already made. The stitches are the same.

In 1914	US today	How we know
d (double crochet)	dc	The book's own page 3: thread over hook once, pull a loop through the work, then work off two loops and the remaining two.
s or sp (space or mesh)	sp: ch 2, skip 2, 1 dc	The book's own page 3: "Chain 2, miss 2 sts of foundation, 1 d in next."
block (solid mesh)	bl: 3 dc after the post already made	The book's own page 3: a single block is 4 d, and two or more blocks are three times the number of blocks plus 1. The first d of a block is the last d of the square before it.

What we checked

The block pattern is drawn 34 squares by 34. It was read by eye, square by square, from the archive's page image, and a second reading by measured darkness agreed in every one of the 1,156 squares.
32 meshes: the drawing has 34 squares across the band, with a line of open squares outside the solid line on each side. The photo of the made piece shows the solid line as the very edge. Without those two outer lines the band is 32 meshes, the count the book prints.
Every row is 32 meshes: 97 stitches across, counting the 3 chain at the start as one.
The border lines are the same on both sides: a solid line, two open lines, a solid line.
The widest rows of the flower, rows 8, 10 and 11, have 20 blocks and 12 spaces: 73 dc and 24 chains.
The whole repeat has 432 blocks and 656 spaces.
The stem leaves the last row in the same square where it enters the first row, so the 34 rows repeat end to end, as the two flowers in the photo do.
Our chart, turned back a quarter turn, matches the 1914 block pattern square for square.

How we read the old wording

The caption and the block pattern above it are the whole of the original for this piece. The book's page 3 explains how its block patterns are worked: "Space or mesh (s or sp). Chain 2, miss 2 sts of foundation, 1 d in next." "The foundation chain is always three times the number of spaces in the first row, plus six." "1st row. Make 1 d in the ninth chain from hook, * ch 2, miss 2 stitches of foundation, 1 d in next." "Each single block consists of 4 d. Two or more blocks consist of three times the number of blocks plus 1. Always make 5 chain in turning. This makes the first space. When the row begins with d, use three chain for turning."
The band is worked the narrow way, 32 meshes to a row. The photo shows the rows running across the band, and "32 meshes" is the width across it. So the chart here is the 1914 block pattern given a quarter turn to the left: turn the old page a quarter turn to the left and the two match.
The line of open squares drawn outside each solid edge is left off, as on the made piece in the photo and as the printed 32 meshes requires. A maker who wants it can add one space at each end of every row, which makes 34 meshes.
Row 1 is the left-hand column of the block pattern and row 34 the right-hand column. The book does not say which end to begin at.
This page is one flower, 34 rows. The book does not say how long to make the band; repeat rows 1 to 34 for more flowers.
The flower is not the same on both sides of its middle in the 1914 drawing (the petals differ by a square here and there). It is kept as drawn.
How the 1914 book counts it: the foundation chain is three times the number of spaces in the first row, plus six, and the first d goes in the ninth chain from the hook. That rule is for a first row of all spaces. Later rows turn with 5 chain when they begin with a space (the 5 chain make the first space) and with 3 chain when they begin with d.
How this pattern counts it: every row of this band begins and ends with a solid block, so every row turns with 3 chain. The 3 chain count as the first dc. The foundation chain is three times the meshes plus three, 3 x 32 + 3 = 99, and the first real dc goes in the fourth chain from the hook.
The book does not print a foundation rule for a first row that begins with a block; it says only to use three chain for turning. The fabric is the same either way: 97 stitches across, a post at each side of every mesh.

Nothing to correct in the original. The block pattern is clear, and its printed 32 meshes agrees with the drawing once the outer line of open squares on each side is left off, as it is on the made piece in the photo.
