The filet charts are simple. The open squares are chain two and the filled
in ones are two double crochets, or four double crochets. There should be a
key to tell you which. Take care. Faith

Hi, Debra,
I found examples of filet crochet charts on about.com, at
http://crochet.about.com/od/hearts/ss/cnhearts_2.htm, and
http://crochet.about.com/library/weekly/aababychick3dc.htm.
I had to get sighted assistance to print off the charts. When I looked
at the patterns with my optacon, I could see the open squares and the ones
that are filled in. I'm not sure, though, that I completely understand how
to interpret the charts.
I think about.com also has knitting patterns, which might be useful for
Tracy.
Thanks,
Paula
