Excerpt from The Priscilla Filet Crochet Book: A Collection of Beautiful Designs in Filet Crochet, Equally Adapted to Cross-Stitch Beads and Canvas; With Working Directions
Always remembering to make 5 chain for the turn in the square work. This makes an open mesh, and it is always much better to have any design with at least one row of open meshes on all four sides.
It is really quite worth while to make a block like this Fig. 2 and find out if it is square.
When doing a long strip or band, it may not be so essential, although the work is prettier; but when making a square block, it should be square.
Working Model, Fig. 4, is a triangular block, made after the pattern, Fig. 5.
After making nine open meshes, use the t c (with two loops), and join to make the last mesh 3 triangle. To turn for the 2d row, make 3 rather loose or 4 quite tight chain-stitches and join with d c to make another triangular mesh. This is the first of 4 d c that form a solid mesh. Following the pattern - I open, I solid, I open, I solid, I open, I solid, I open. (turn with 5 chain at this end.)
