About King Cole Giza 4Ply

All pieces in this collection are designed to be crocheted using King Cole Giza 4Ply, a premium yarn celebrated for its smooth, lustrous finish. The 4ply weight gives the finished items a refined, lightweight drape that is well suited to table accessories and home décor. A 3.00mm crochet hook is recommended throughout the pattern, though crafters are advised to adjust hook size as necessary to achieve the correct tension.

Tension

Achieving the correct tension is essential for all items in this collection. The stated tension is 26 stitches and 12 rows to 10cm (4 inches) over pattern using a 3.00mm crochet hook. If your stitch count is lower than stated, switch to a finer hook; if higher, switch to a larger hook. Working to tension ensures that each piece reaches the intended dimensions.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The pattern draws on a range of standard and slightly advanced crochet stitches and constructions. Crafters working through this collection will use:

• Chain (ch) – used to start each piece and form foundation rings and chain spaces
• Slip stitch (ss) – used to join rounds and move yarn into position without adding height
• Double crochet (dc) – a short, dense stitch used for structure and edging
• Half treble (htr) – a mid-height stitch providing a neat, slightly raised fabric
• Treble (tr) – the primary stitch used throughout the motif constructions, creating an open, elegant texture
• tr3tog – a special decrease stitch where three treble stitches are worked together (yarn over, insert hook, draw through, yarn over, draw through two loops — repeated three times, then yarn over and draw through all remaining loops), used to shape and define the pattern
• Working into a ring – each square motif begins with a small chain ring (4ch joined with a slip stitch), from which all first-round stitches are worked
• Working in rounds – all motifs are constructed in continuous or joined rounds, building outward from the central ring
• Chain spaces (ch sp) – decorative gaps formed by chains that are worked into on subsequent rounds, creating the characteristic lacy structure

Construction Method

The motifs are built from the centre outward in rounds, a technique common to granny-square and medallion-style crochet. Each round increases the stitch count, adding groups of treble stitches separated by chain spaces at the corners and along the sides. This creates a square format that grows with each successive round. The pattern specifies exactly how many treble groups appear per round — for example, the square motif progresses from 4 groups of 3 trebles in the first round to 4 groups of 7 trebles and then 4 groups of 11 trebles as rounds are added — giving crafters a clear sense of progression and making it easy to track their work.

Square Table Mat

The Square Table Mat is worked using a 3.00mm hook beginning with a 4-chain foundation ring. Rounds are built outward from the centre using treble crochet groups and chain spaces, forming a structured square shape. The stitch pattern creates an open, lace-like fabric that is both decorative and practical as a table protector.
