Runner measures 15” wide x 60” long (38 x 152.5 cm).

Special Stitch

Picot = ch 4, slip st in last sc made.

Special Technique

Adjustable-ring method = Wrap yarn into a ring, ensuring that the tail falls behind the working yarn. Grip ring and tail firmly between middle finger and thumb. Insert hook through center of ring, yarn over (with working yarn) and draw up a loop. Work stitches of first round in the ring, working over both strands (the tail and the ring). After the first round of stitches is worked, pull gently, but firmly, on tail to tighten ring.

Notes

1. Runner is made from 28 snowflake motifs arranged into 3 rows of 9, 10, and 9 motifs each.

2. Each motif is worked in joined rounds with right side facing at all times.

3. Motifs are sewn to neighboring motifs through center picots in the last rounds. Hold the motifs with wrong sides together as you sew through ch-4 spaces.

4. Make and join motifs to neighboring motifs according to Assembly Diagram and instructions.
