Circular knitted tablecloth with an elaborate design in 8 repeats, of large flowers on a hexagonal mesh background. The central design is 8 stems radiating from the center, each with a pair of leaves and a broad urn-shaped flower with a flame-like tuft rising from it. Surrounding this is a circle of similar large flowers. A wide border pattern consists of a ring of picket-like teeth interrupted by 16 leafy branches which split into 2 to support a wide faggoted scallop. Finished with crochet chain.
