This motif is a re-working of my Torch Star doily. It was suggested to me that this would make a Great Tablecloth motif! I agreed and went to work on the re-designing to make it suitable for this purpose!

PLEASE NOTE: I have not yet made a Tablecloth with this motif, however, the pattern should work up properly. No outer border is necessary! If you have any Questions or Comments, feel free to E-mail me! :o) . Materials: Approx. 50 yds size 10 cotton crochet thread for each motif (I used Grandma's Best by Caron in Ecru); size 4 (2.0mm) steel hook (I used a Boye hook) OR Size Needed for Gauge. .

Fasten Off. Weave in ends. (48 sc, 6 ch-5 lps, 30 ch-7 lps) . . SECOND AND REMAINING MOTIFS . To join on one "side", work as for first motif through Rnd 9. Work first repeat of Rnd 10 (up to 2nd corner), then join next "side" by replacing center ch of next corner ch-5 lp, ch-7 lps and next corner ch-5 lp with a sc in corresponding loop of first motif. Complete Rnd 10 as usual. . Alternate Joining - Since there are 5 ch-7 lps on each "side", you may wish to reduce the # of joinings by working them in only the 2nd and 4th (or 1st, 3rd and 5th) loops on each "side". . To join on 2 or more "sides", work as for above making corner joinings around sc of previous corner joining as needed and continue the joining on each "side" as needed. When all joining "sides" are done, complete Rnd 10 as usual. . Continue making and joining motifs until your Tablecloth is desired size. . . Wash and Block Tablecloth, pinning to shape as needed or desired. .
