Crochet Tablecloth Pattern, Rectangular Lace Table Topper, Joined Floral Star Motifs, Advanced, 33 x 22 Inch, Vintage PDF Pattern

This crochet tablecloth pattern makes a rectangular lace table topper, 33 by 22 inches, built from 24 large floral star motifs joined together, with 15 small fill-in motifs in the gaps between them.

Each large motif opens with a small flower center and spreads out into airy rounds of lace with pointed, star-like tips. When the motifs are joined, the fill-in motifs sit in the spaces where four points meet and form a mosaic of flowers and stars. A single round of edging finishes the outside. In the photo it is worked in white, and it looks striking over a darker cloth or tabletop. Use it on a coffee table, dresser, sideboard, console or dining table for a delicate, heirloom look. It also makes a special handmade gift for anyone who loves traditional lace.

This is an advanced-level design. It is made in separate motifs, and the large ones are joined to each other in their final round as you work, so there is no sewing of the motifs afterwards. You'll need to be comfortable with fine thread, longer stitches such as the double triple crochet, and reading a stitch diagram.
