I am looking for a pattern for a crocheted round table cloth. The table is 42 in. across and I would like it to hang over about six or eight inches. Please help.
Good morning. I have 3 crochet patterns for round tables; first one is 43.5x60.4, (because it has a scalloped type edging) the second pattern is 60" in diameter, then third one is 64" in diameter. The last two patterns are from Coats & Clark's 1964, the first one is from Annie's Favorite-1999...if you are interested in any OR all 3, I would be more than happy to scan and send them via email. If you prefer snail mail, let me know and we can work something out. Elaine aka myantoo
My suggestion is to cheat. That is right, you heard me!
I would go to the dollar tree's and get yourself all the white or ecru doilies I could get, and put one in the middle, placing the rest in the next "row" of the circle, tying each one to the center one with a nice ribbon or pinning it to it for crocheting the attachment later.
Then, get the next row on and keep going. In 2-3 hours, with about 50.00 you will have a very nice table cloth.
Yes, it will cost you more, but it will save you about 50 hours of work, and that is conservative. Your time is worth a lot more than 1.00 per hour.
Another cool idea is to go the thrift shops and get gently used doilies, and put them together for one that is unique in all the world! When it's done, regardless of what method you use, I would go to Walmart or wherever they sell clear plastic sheeting in 5' rolls, and get enough to cover the top and at least 2-3" on the sides, to keep it clean.

RE: Round Table Cloth Crochet Pattern
Ronnie, the size of the tablecloth you want will be the size of the table plus an 8 to 16 inch drop, depending on whether your table is casual or formal (longer is more formal), and whether you plan to put your lace over a solid round. That means that to the size of the table (42 inches) you'll add 16 to 32 inches, for a total finished diameter of 58 to 74 inches. It is also considered OK to use a square lace tablecloth over a solid round of the appropriate size, if you are setting four places at the table. The size of the cloth will also depend on your hook and thread size, and on your gauge. Be sure to block to size (instructions for blocking are everywhere online).

Hope I am not too late getting this to you. I've made this one and love it. Actually, I loved it so much I donated it to a senior's club to draw tickets on. I've made 5 different ones now, but I still do not own one myself. But one day I will. It takes a bit of time but well worth it. Good luck!
