How to crochet the letters U, K, L?

I googled alphabet in crochet and the first one was the crochet.about.com library where they have individual letters you can print out and then crochet. You are an ambitious crafter to do all of those. Good luck to you.

I think you'll have to make your letters with Filet Crochet. First take a piece of Graph Paper & graph out simple block letters on it (by coloring in the boxes). This will be your pattern... Do you know how to Filet Crochet? If no, here's several sites with directions:

* One more thing: For those who don't know, When it comes to the alphabet, you can substitute Needlepoint Charts with Filet Crochet Charts. (They also work for loom beadwork & rug punching or rug hooking)

FREE GRAPH PAPER: (sites where you can print your own graph paper, each is different)

This website is the closest I could come to what you might be looking for. Scroll down to the box of letters and highlight it. The schematic will appear how to create it. Perhaps you might be able to do a single letter from this.
