Blackwork Log Cabin Interlocking Filet Crochet Afghan

Grab your favorite book and cuddle up by the fire with this log cabin quilt-like interlocking filet crochet afghan, incorporating both diagonals and solid stitches. The design is created in the style of blackwork embroidery, by varying the density of stitches to achieve the look of different fabrics as they radiate from the center of each quilt block. The bold design around the outside edge also creates the look of a quilted border.

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!
