I'm looking for a resource for filet crochet using #3 thread. I would like to do last names. Also, has anyone seen a pattern for a baby afghan that says "Jesus Loves Me". Would like it for my grandbaby's baptism. Probably filet crochet also. Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Check out this website. This lady might be able to help you create what you want.

Go ahead, try it. It's really quite simple, easier than a lot of other patterns. Especially if you can follow a chart, it's only chains, single and double crochets. Thread crochet usually takes longer than yarn (at least for me) but is definitely more portable than most projects with regular yarn. I have lots of fillet patterns, but can't think of one that is like monograms. Will check, and if I have one I would be more than happy to share.

I love to filet crochet. I make my own patterns there are sites that give you graphs of alphabets and I use them to graph words or names. The most ambitious filet crochet I have done is a family tree with all our names on it.

There is a website called momsloveofcrochet.com that has diagrams for filet monograms for anyone that is interested. Lots of other patterns as well. Carolyn
