Yarnish Advent MCAL 2018 - Day 7

Day 7!

Thank you for joining in with the mystery and excitement as, over the next 18 days, we take some time for ourselves during the busy season to create and complete something to use on Christmas day! We are making a table runner, that could easily be converted into a wrap or throw!

Yarn:

Scheepjes Catona, 100% cotton 10g / 25 m x 24 balls.

https://www.yarnish.com.au/products/scheepjes-catona

Hook size: 4 mm

Gauge: Motif will measure 10 cm at widest point. 1 x 10 g ball will yield 2 motifs.

Today you will be making and joining two motifs as per pattern.

A reminder of the pattern is below.
