Key
RS = right side: the side of your work that will show the finished design
I have a free photo tutorial for the
WS = wrong side: the back of your project
Don't confuse RS / WS LFM technique available in my
Front = the side currently facing you with Front / Back Facebook group (Locked Filet Mesh
Crochet) and on Ravelry
Back = the side not facing you
Just remember, each color is
MC = main color (usually dark) worked into itself only and there is a
AC = accent color (usually light or multicolored) chain space between each DC

Ch = chain
If you chain tighter than me,
Sp = space you may need to Ch4 where I
Sk = skip a stitch Ch3

SC = single crochet

DC = double crochet Foundation Step 2: MC (black)

windows with AC (purple) chain
F = DC in front, then CH 1
tail through right window
B = DC behind, then CH 1

ES = DC into the last window space

EF = end stitch in front: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working in front of MC

EB = end stitch in back: using AC, DC into the last AC window, working behind MC

ACF = bring the AC yarn to the side facing you

ACB = put AC yarn to the side facing away from you

Foundation Rows (11 MC bars, 10 AC bars)

1. Using MC create 10 windows. I prefer the chainless technique using triple/treble crochet but alternatively you can
Ch 21 + 3 (or 4 if you chain tighter than me), then DC in 6th (or 7th) CH from your hook. *Ch 1, Sk 1, DC* repeat until
the end. Place stitch marker so your work doesn’t unravel.

2. With your AC, Ch 21 +1 (or 2 if you chain tighter). Place MC windows on top of this chain (make sure the end with
the stitch marker is at your left) and pull the tail of your AC through the window on the right end (see picture by the
Key). DC through the back of the next window into the 6th (or 7th) CH from your hook.
3. *Ch 1, Sk 1, DC through the back* repeat to end. Place stitch marker so your work doesn’t unravel. Both stitch
markers should be on the same end.
