A grille is a screen of metal bars. It can be decorative and/or purposeful.
This design reminds me of something that would be on a window of a small house on a small Greek island – thus the name Grille!
The square is knit from the bottom up, then you turn it upside down to get the swatch shown.

Yarn & Label Review:
This is a great basic acrylic go to yarn. Stitch definition is great. Yarn is not tightly spun, so it will withstand multiple froggings. Easy care - machine wash and dry! Take a close look at the Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice label. It has inch markings on the side!
