Hamilton Table Runner

---

Table runners have been used since early times as a way to enhance the look of a dining table and bring a sense of occasion to a meal. A table runner acts to set the scene for an event, providing a colour theme and imparting a sense of elegance and tradition.

Wooden tables especially benefit from the use of a table runner since the texture and colour of the runner can bring out the beauty of the wood itself.
​
The Hamilton Table Runner features a reversible stitch with a wonderfully textural diamond design. The pattern includes stitch charts and full line-by-line instructions for three different sizes.
