This is a beautiful table accessory. You can make it as long as you like -- 1 skein makes a table runner 14 in. wide by 34 in. long. Silky Wool is one of my favorite yarns. With all of the colors to choose from, you can make a table runner to match your decor and every season too.
It is also a versatile pattern -- it would make a lovely wide scarf as written or by adding more repeats in increments of 10 st, you could make it a lovely stole. Plan for more yarn accordingly.
