    @savitaaa I send you a video on how to attach new yarn for changing color.

  • tjw1963 says:

    @savitaaa I have a video on changing color. I will send you the link. You will change color the same way.

  • savitaaa says:

    Hi! How do you change colour? I want the parts that have to be filled to be another colour, is that possible? Thanks!

  • tjw1963 says:

    @PelletAR Time code 3:40 in this video shows how to add blocks. You will start with less chains when you are filling them in. You will chain 5 to start and then 3 extra chains for each block that you want to add on. There are two things you can do at the end. The first will be to attach an extra length of chain. The second will be to work the foundation double crochet.

  • PelletAR says:

    Do you have a way to add 2 filled blocks to the beginning and end of the row? I can’t figure it out, if you know can you post a video? I love all of your videos, I’ve learned a lot.

  • CurlyCaprice says:

    Please ignore my post I sent today. I must be losing it! LOL! Had no idea I had already asked you this question…

  • tjw1963 says:

    If you are unsure, you may want to crochet a small swatch to set on your table and so you can see if it is what you are looking for. The size does not matter as long as you like it.

  • 327pd says:

    I need to clarify my previous post….The table cover will be open block, with a few filled blocks in the center.

  • 327pd says:

    I love your videos! I’ve learned a few stitches from watching these…..THANK YOU!
    My question is, with the filet stitch, how do you start a filled block without the increase?
    And….in your opinion, do you think size 3 crochet thread is too heavy for a tablecover, using this stitch? I’d like it to be about 60″ X 88″, or 120 blocks by 170 rows.

  • tjw1963 says:

    I do have a light weight beanie that is similar but the stitches are not in top of each other as with the filet crochet. I will send you a separate link so you can see if it is what you may be looking for.

  • CurlyCaprice says:

    This is the exact stitch I was looking for to make a beanie! But do you know of any patterns to make this stitch with a hat? I mean this is IT! I try to stick with your videos because they are EXTREMELY easy to follow.

  • cdaleo says:

    Thank you for the video- it was so helpful! I’m going to make a scarf out of a 50% merino and 50% mohair combo. I saw an example in a book, but there was no pattern. I’ll be doing large squares, like you demonstrate, but in single crochet so it’s warmer. I hope it comes out well!

  • tjw1963 says:

    Filet crochet looks harder than what it is. Maybe when you have practiced a bit more, you will feel comfortable giving it a try.

  • hrmfan says:

    It looks sort of hard. I just started crocheting a few months ago, and i know all of the basic stitches and stuff. I still need to use my fingers to pull the loops over. i should probably start trying not to.. thanks for the video :)

    Thank You so much for the link on tapestry crochet. I hadn’t even thought of using bobbins. You’ve been a big help.

  • tjw1963 says:

    Thank you Sarah. It can be done by leaving the color change attached and picking up the color as you come back across the row. For the places that are spread out farther, you would cut the thread at the color change and sew in the tails later. I have a diamond square that will be the same technique for thread color changes. I will send you a separate link.

  • svermilya says:

    I’m so thrilled that you are helping people learn crochet. I’m 55 and have been crocheting since age 8. ( Taught by a totally blind Grandma…that could feel my stitches and tell if they were correct or not….awesome woman.) I do have a question. Is it possible to do filet crochet with thread in 2 colors? I’ve never figured out a way to do it. The design in solid mesh in one color and the open mesh background in another without applique?
    Thank You.

  • tjw1963 says:

    This will work or chain loops will work too.

  • dominicanshy says:

    is this what you use to put a ribbon throungh when making a blanket?

  • tjw1963 says:

    Thank you. I have a lot of ideas.

  • tjw1963 says:

    You are welcome. Filet is not as difficult as it appears to be. I know I used to think it was really hard until I made my first project. It is just filling in blocks to make the shape and leaving the mesh ones open.

  • KScappace says:

    Thank you for this video! I have been trying to figure out filet crochet but could never visualize the patterns.

  • tjw1963 says:

    Thank you. :)
