Repeat rows 1-20 until desired length.*

Work 6 rows of garter stitch (knit every row). Bind off loosely.

Finishing: Wash according to yarn instructions. Block lightly, emphasizing the

scallops.

*NOTE: If you choose to knit yours long enough to hang over the edge of your
table or dresser, beware that the cotton can sag or stretch if it’s too long. Try
not to leave more than 6 inches to hang down.

Try using a finer weight cotton to make a smaller runner or dresser top.
