2 Pointed Star Crochet Tablecloth

Paula's #MindlessCrochet, 12 Pointed Star Tablecloth

​In August I started looking for a round crochet tablecloth pattern. Google searches produced lots of vintage (white and ecru) lace tablecloth patterns. Some were beautifully intricate, most comprised of circle motifs. And, while I love crocheting hundreds of little circles to relax, joining circles into a giant circle was daunting to me... not the long relaxing #MindlessCrochet project I was looking for.

Varying 1, 2 or 3 rows of each color gives a 3D effect when shot from above.

Round pointed afghan projects gaining popularity on Instagram inspired me to bust out my stash of ultra fine cotton and a small hook. I kept increasing a "12 Pointed Star Crochet Throw" pattern (lots of free ones on www.ravelry.com) to a 74" diameter tablecloth. These patterns adapt well to finer crochet cottons with a smaller hook. 

Lucky find. Found some cool matching fabric for seat covers/valance.

Materials

• 28+/- Skeins, assorted colors Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima Fine Sport Weight 100% Cotton*
• 3mm Crochet Hook
• 12 Tassels (DIY!) for each point
• 12 Large Beads or Jewelry findings for tassels

Embellish each point with a tassel. I add a little bling, but it looks nice without.

I can't figure out why there aren't many newer style round tablecloth patterns to be found. If you have one please share. Tag me if you make one!
