Example of the Filet Boxes Stitch
I love this open airy pattern! It is perfect for summer time vests. But I have a question. If I wanted to crochet this in the round, how would I increase the rounds? If anyone knows how, I would grealty appreciate it! I’ve been struggling with it for a few days.
Thanks!
