Hi, I really want to make this, but as you know, Bernat has discontinued its Handicrafter Yarn, at least in size 5. I can't find any size 5 anywhere. Do you have any suggestions?

I love this crochet table runner and for anyone who crochets this is a beautiful piece to add to your table o that special someone for a gift. I can see it used for a wedding or even a holiday event or how about your Thanksgiving table. I will have to brush up on my terms a little more but this beauty is worth it. Thanks for posting.

I'm sorry, I don't understand row 4, twice around last dc. First three rows were easy, but not liking row r.

These are terrible instructions for a beginner. I could not get past 4th round. Have no idea what the stuff in brackets means as opposed stuff between and even with help could not work it out. While the stitches are simple the instructions are a mess. Don't bother.

Hi chinchandran--No worries! I'm glad you asked! SP stands for space...so you're going to slip stitch in the next ch2 space from the previous round, then chain 1. Hope that helps! --FaveCrafts Editors
