Crochet Christmas Tablecloth

Crochet Christmas Tablecloth Pattern

Materials:

• Size 10 crochet cotton thread (white or cream recommended).
• 1.5mm crochet hook.
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends.
• Blocking pins and mat for shaping.

Stitches Used:

• Chain (CH)
• Single Crochet (SC)
• Double Crochet (DC)
• Slip Stitch (SL ST)
• Picot (optional for edging)

Instructions:

Step 1: Start with a Motif

1. Begin with a magic ring.
2. Round 1: CH 3 (counts as a DC), work 11 DC into the ring, SL ST to the top of the chain to close (12 DC total).
3. Round 2: CH 4 (counts as DC and CH 1), skip one stitch, DC in next stitch, CH 1, repeat around, SL ST to close.
4. Round 3: In each CH-1 space, work (DC, CH 2, DC), creating small V-stitches. Continue around.
5. Round 4: Work SC in each DC, CH 3 between SCs to create a lacy effect.

Step 2: Connecting Motifs

1. Make multiple motifs following the same pattern.
2. As you work the final round of each motif, join them together by slip stitching into the adjacent motif’s corner CH-3 spaces.
3. Continue this process until you’ve created enough motifs to form the desired size of the tablecloth.

Step 3: Edging

1. After all motifs are joined, crochet a decorative edging around the entire tablecloth.
2. For the edging, SC along the edge, working picots (CH 3, SL ST back into the first chain) every 4 SCs for a scalloped look.

Step 4: Blocking

1. Wet the finished tablecloth and gently shape it to the desired size on a blocking mat.
2. Use pins to secure the edges and let it dry completely to maintain its shape.
