About the Design

This peaceful piece of crochet is ideal for keeping you warm after a calming yoga session, or just to create and enjoy the soothing act of hooking stitches using the filet crochet technique.

Note From the Designer

Donna says, “This pattern was inspired by my fabulous yoga teacher who encourages us to keep warm during the relaxation session at the end of each class to preserve the ‘prana’ (energy) we have collected.”

What is Filet Crochet?

Filet crochet is a beautifully versatile technique that is great for both beginners and seasoned crocheters. Using just basic stitches, typically double crochet and chain spaces, filet crochet creates open and filled mesh patterns that form stunning designs, from delicate florals to bold geometric motifs. It’s a wonderful way to add a vintage touch to modern projects like wall hangings, cushions, or even garments. Whether you follow a chart or create your own design, filet crochet is a rewarding technique that brings pictures and patterns to life! CLICK HERE to learn the basics of filet crochet.
