Beginner Filet patterns?

[Mattteri]

Ladies, I am starting to learn how to filet crochet. Wondering if there are any sites, or books that are easy to read that you would recommend? I have been crocheting for a long time, but have never attempted this.

Smart crochet http://www.smartcrochet.com/tutorial.shtml
Haas Design http://www.hassdesign.com/BasicFiletTechniques/

both have excellent beginner tutorials.

When Crochetville starts up their classes again, I highly recommend Katchkan's classes.

The Filet Crochet Book by Chris Rankin is very good.

On this page there is a list of the best fillet crochet educational sites I could find:

Thank you ladies for your replies! I certainly will watch for the class, and the books look interesting! The sites that you found are awesome, and I am looking forward to starting on something small!

Thank you!!

My Prayer Cloth is a great starter project. It's only about 4 1/2" sq. and by the time you're finished you should have the hang of converting blocks to stitches.
