Thats such a sweet idea for a christmas table. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for this adorable silverware holder!! I will definitely be making some of these!!!!!
I am confused. I crocheted rows 1-41. NExt, your directions say to fold on row16-17. So what do i do with the rest of the rows? If i fold rows 16 to the first row i have a lot of rows left over.
It looks too long – not like the pic at all. What am i doing wrong or what am i misunderstanding? thank you – this looks really cute and looking forward to making for xmas gifts.
Hi Christy!
Yes, you would have several rows left, this creates a backing behind the pocket.
