Ek was sooo opgewonde toe ek hierdie lieflike gehekelde tafellap op Pinterest raakloop, maar hartseer toe ek besef die lap is te koop, maar nie die patroon nie. Gelukkig kry ek toe hierdie variasie daarvan wat deur ‘n kreatiewe persoon van ’n vintage patroon, die “Between Meals Centre Piece” gemaak is. Die patroon se oorspronklike weergawe is gratis bekombaar op Ravelry, maar ongelukkig wemel dit van foute en onduidelikhede. Ons groep het toe reeds beplan om dit as een van ons saamhekelprojekte aan te pak, so ons is nou genoodsaak om die patroon self te herskryf sodat almal dit kan verstaan. Hier volg die eerste 15 rye soos ek dit verstaan. (ons gebruik ons eie terme en afkortings soos ons dit verkies, nie noodwendig die Britse of Amerikaanse terminologie nie)
