A few weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon I picked up a crochet hook and some cotton yarn and started playing. This is what turned out. I like experimenting with stitches to see if I can make it work. 
I am not a professional pattern writer so this is very basic. You will need to join a round by slip stitching in the top of the first stitch. Adjust to make it work. I used Peaches and Crème 4-ply worsted cotton yarn. It took about 26 ounces.
And this is why it’s called Mamie’s Tablecloth!

Round 1: Ch 5. * DC in ring, ch 2. Repeat from * 5 times. Join with sl st in 3rd chain of beginning ch 5.

Mamies tablecloth, how much yarn did you use. Thank you
It’s been so long ago that I don’t remember. I think I had a large cone of cotton and used most of it.
Hi, on round 4 it says DC in ea DC around (not in ea. ST.) it is too narrow (like a deep circle.
I can’t pull it up where I am right now. Hope you worked it out.
Love the table cloth and how nice to print the pattern with waste. Thank you, can’t wait to start it.
I meant without waste of paper.
Hi,
What is the finished width of the tablecloth? Thanks.
I dont recall….and I dont have it any longer to measure. Sorry. You can make it smaller or larger by adding or eliminating rounds.
Thanks. I understand. Do you still have the table? If so, can you tell me the width of your table. That would help.
I don’t have it either…..but I think it was about 36 or 40 inches….and the table cloth was about 48 or 50 inches. Hope that helps.
Hi again, just finished writing out your pattern, your print does not work, for some reason on my wifi printer, but Like I said before, took pictures of the tablecloth and pattern on my I pad, thank you, will get started when I get the cone of cotton thread. Thank you!
Glad you wrote it out and hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for the pattern. Hope to get started as soon as I get the materials. Thanks again for your generosity
I’d love to see yours when you finish.
BTW, your doggie is Adorable!
I have been looking for an easy pattern of a cool round doily looking tablecloth to make into a “round vest” for 2 freakin days! Congrats! Yours is my pick! 🙂 I found several on pinterest, but they are all in russian! Or spanish. It may take awhile to make, but i’ll try to remember to post my progress! Thanks!
Glad it will work for you. Please keep me posted. I would love to see the result.
I was wondering what size hook that you used? Thanks!
Thanks for the question and for looking at my blog post.
I do not recall what size hook I used but am pretty sure it is whatever was recommended on the yarn wrapper. It is a lightweight cotton thread.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
Iam on the final round. Have been loving this pattern. Thank you so much. I used the regular red heart yarn. It has used 4 of the super saver skeins.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I am not a pattern writer but really enjoyed doing this. Please send a photo wehn you complete yours.
