DELTA CROCHET - A TUTORIAL - PART II

This part of the tutorial highlights the differences between DELTA CROCHET and Filet Crochet

Filet Crochet	Delta Crochet
Filet crochet is a combination of chains dc and tr. There are variations that use d.tr. But it is not very popular.	Delta Crochet is a combination of chains, d.tr and puff stitches.
Filet crochet is a series of open and solid meshes called blocks.	Delta crochet is a series of alternating upward and downward pointing triangular meshes and puff stitches and puff stitch blossoms.
No. of starting chains = No. of blocks x 3 +1	No. of starting chains = No. of upward pointing triangles x 5 + 1
Projects are mostly rectangular or square or have cutwork like edges.	Projects are mostly hexagons and sometimes round.

Similarities
 It is easier to work both styles of crochet from charts rather than written directions once you get the hang of it.
 In both cases odd rows are read from right to left and even rows are read from left to right.
 Reading from charts while easier in the long run can be pretty confusing in the beginning.
 This is especially true in the case of Delta because of the irregular shape of the row or round.
 Just as in the case of filet crochet, an even working tension is essential in Delta crochet.
