Instructions

Total concentration. Have more yarn than you think you'll need.

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Classic, Retro / Vintage, Traditional, Romantic


Materials

Anchor Aida 50g 6 ply crochet thread (2 skeins).

What was your inspiration?

I needed to replace my old table top on my dining table.

What are you most proud of?

I managed to complete this whilst making other crochet items for friends and family.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

100% concentration. Have more yarn than you need. It's very annoying to run out just before you finish project.
My finished project turned out to be twice as big as the pattern given in magazine, so make sure you have twice the amount of thread given in instructions.

Thank you, Lynn. I started this back in July, but put it on hold when I ran out of cotton half way through my holidays in France and couldn't find the right type over there, so I started something different. Luckily I found correct thread again back in England!

Thank you, Ladymax. I'm having a break from big projects now and will be doing more amigurumi and hats for friends and family.
