This runner was inspired by the brilliant, jolly colours of a summer meadow. The pattern is knitted horizontally and can be extended to any desired length. If lengthened it can also be used as a light summer shawl or scarf. The measurements for this pattern fit a smaller table.

Yarn
The runner is knitted in JW (jumperweight) yarn.

A: 50g Selfheal
B: 50g Selfheal Heath

Notice that you will need to add more yarn if you want to extend the length of your piece.

Needle size
4mm.

Tension
16 sts x 32 rows over lace pattern (after blocking) = 10 cm. The width will depend on how strongly you tease the piece when blocking.
It is always wise to do a swatch to establish your tension; adjust your needle size accordingly.

Size
Width: ca 30.5 cm / 12 in
Length: ca 71 cm / 28 in (or any chosen length).
You can extend the length by making more pattern repeats. Size can also be adjusted by using larger or smaller needles.
