Hi,

I can help if I can see the pattern you wish to convert! The crochet pattern central link came up as alot of different ones....I couldn't find the fish net one, It is easy to convert to a rectangle though. If you can't find a working link and you would like a stitch type ie lacy, I can make up a pattern for you! Just give me your wants etc:hook

I would say just to start at teh long end and don't do the decreases. Continue the first lines of patterning throughout.

 

It's a bit hard though without actually seeing the pattern.

If you want to do the fishnet style...

 

chain a multiple of 3 plus 7

 

Row 1: dc in 7th ch from hook, *ch 2, sk 2 ch, dc in next * repeat across

 

Row 2, turn, ch 5, *dc in next dc, ch 2* across and with dc in 3rd ch of turning ch.

 

Repeat row 2 until it is as long as you want.

 

Since this is a basic (4dc) filet mesh, you could work in some interesting bits and bobs using filet.

 

It might be nice to do this in Tr as well
