Details of the Central Body and the Crochet • Central Rosette: a circle with a diameter of 65 cm outlined by openwork stitches; • Central Insert: delicate 3 cm high crocheted lace decorates the inner disk; • Connecting spokes: from the center emerge 4 geometric crochet inserts (6 cm wide and 30 cm long) that elegantly connect the heart of the tablecloth to the outer ruffle.

A tablecloth that required skilled hands and many hours of work.
