Dog Charted Design (Small)
 |
Chart is shown done as a filet crochet design but is suitable for many different needlework applications: |
Cross stitch on aida cloth, cross stitch on a crocheted single crochet or afghan stitch background, crocheting or
knitting the color design in on a piece, needlepoint, loom beadwork
or adapted for peyote and other beading techniques, pieced quilt blocks.
The example on the right shows this chart worked in cross-stitch on a thread crocheted background. I crocheted the background with size 10 cotton thread and did the cross-stitch in size 10 thread also, reading the chart as: one square on the chart equals one single crochet stitch.

If working the chart in filet crochet:
Starting Chain (for a 4 double crochet mesh): Chain 40, plus
chain 3 (which counts as first dc of first row), plus chain 2 (for the ch-2 of first open mesh),
for a total starting chain of 45 chains.
To form first open mesh, dc in 9th chain from hook. Starting at
bottom right-hand side, follow chart.

I recharted this dog chart from a chart in Alphabets in Crochet by Emma Farnes, Including Small Filet Designs, No copyright date in book, circa 1920 or earlier.
