Blessed Mother Mary Filet Crochet Chart


Check out my Ravelry Project Page for progress

My mother asked if I could make her something crocheted or knitted with our Blessed Mother Mary.  I found this interesting Filet Crochet Chart.
The image file had a link to an Etsy Shop, but there was a message that the item was no longer available.  I am able to see the chart on the image file okay, so I will try to make this into my own personal project for mom.

Here is the link to the image and I want to give credit to whomever has the right to the credit for this beautiful chart.  If you know who gets credit for this, please let me know.
