Blackwork Jacob's Ladder Interlocking Filet Crochet Afghan

Do you love the look of blackwork embroidery or a comfy vintage quilt? This interlocking filet crochet project combines both styles to create the Blackwork Jacob’s Ladder Afghan! A delicate border, incorporating both layers, surrounds the afghan to complete the look.

Since two contrasting colors are used to create the designs on the different “quilt blocks”, a YouTube tutorial is also included to explain the color changes for this project.

This pattern provides both row-by-row written instructions as well as a design chart for reference. Since it contains many diagonals to create the design, it is recommended for someone who is comfortable with the interlocking filet mesh technique.

If you haven’t tried diagonals on an interlocking filet mesh project yet, you can learn how on my YouTube Channel! You can also read about it on my blog!

Materials:

  • A solid color DK weight acrylic yarn was used for the main (background) color.
  • A self-striping and a solid color DK weight yarn were used for the contrasting (design) colors to create the look of the different “quilt” blocks.
  • A size 6/0 (3.50 mm) crochet hook is also needed.
  • Stitch markers are recommended to keep track of your progress.
