Enjoy the calm design of this Stunning Swag Valance as the sun shines through your window. This filet crochet valance is completed in three separate sections: a right and left panel with a scalloped section in the center. It can easily be customized to fit your window by changing the number of scalloped sections or eliminating the right and left panels. The rod pocket is built into the top of each section to fit a 5/8” to 3/4” diameter curtain rod.

This pattern includes both row-by-row written instructions as well as a design chart for reference.

The filet crochet technique is akin to crocheting a piece of graph paper with some of the square grids filled in and some left open (or blank) to create an overall design. If you’d like to learn filet crochet, check out my YouTube tutorial: Filet Crochet: Learning the Stitches & a Few Extras!
