From the pattern: “Crochet maven Lily Chin, a world record-holder in speed crocheting, designed this gingham table runner pattern exclusively for Better Homes and Gardens. It’s suitable for beginner to advanced-beginner crocheters. One of the best things about the pattern is its versatility: In cool weather, you can take the runner off the table and wear it as a stole instead. The overall size of the finished project is 16 1/4 x 72 3/4 inches long before border.”
