Do you love the look of blackwork embroidery or a comfy vintage quilt? This interlocking filet crochet afghan combines both styles to create the Blackwork Star Flower Afghan! Blackwork-style designs create the different “quilt fabrics” and a lacy picot border surrounds the afghan to complete the look.

This afghan uses two main (background) colors and two contrasting (design) colors. A YouTube tutorial is also provided to explain color changes.

This pattern provides both row-by-row written instructions as well as design charts for reference. Since this design has many diagonal stitches, 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!
