Choosing a Yarn & Hook
Filet crochet is usually done with mercerized cotton thread and a small crochet hook. You can use any yarn or hook, but it's best to use a non-stretchy, non-fuzzy fiber for clean, robust lines.
Use the recommended hook size per your yarn.

Filet crochet
This pattern uses 2 dc for a closed square and skip 2 st + ch 2 for an open square.
The foundation chain will be represented with 3 ch per square + 5 ch to represent the first square of the first row.
(20 squares * 3 ch) + 5 ch = 65 ch foundation chain
