Eesan

The design accompanying the Eesan tile is a table runner. The table runner is made of the same square, worked to different lengths and joined through the twisted slip stitch crochet join. This gives it a playful shape and shows how simply omitting a few rounds can completely change the look of these tiles. The sample uses a variegated bamboo yarn as the base colour with 3 different cottons as contrasting colours to ‘pop’ the pattern. An optional tassel can finish it off.

Gauge:

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, as long as your tile lies flat. However, different yarns give different gauges:

Crochet thread: 13sc x 12 rows = 5cm / 2”.

Fingering weight: 11sc x 11 rows = 5cm / 2”.

DK weight: 9sc x 8 rows = 5cm / 2”.

Aran weight: 8sc x 8 rows = 5cm / 2”.

Hooks:

√ Depending on yarn choice, 2.5mm/C, 3.5mm/E-4, 4mm/G-6 or 5mm/H-8 crochet hook (Adapt hook to yarn used).

Notions

√ Tapestry needle, stitch markers.

√ Optional: additional yarn to add some tassels
