Modelled on the style of a classic, warm pelerine, but I didn’t want to knit another one. Instead I came up with this crocheted version. Since it is a very ‘square’ pattern I wanted a very square stitch - and what is squarer than filet? Except that it is full of holes and not my idea of ‘warm’ at all!

Intermesh (also called double filet) seemed like a good solution so I played around a bit to find a pattern I like - and to figure out how it is done - and here is the result. I discovered a bonus with this method is that it is completely reversible - you get two for the price of one!

You can join it down the front as you go or leave it open and just join with buttons.
