Running in Circles Tablerunner/Centerpiece
Use ‘H’ hook, a tapestry needle to join circles, and worsted (4) yarn- like superwash wool or Caron Simply Soft in whatever colors you choose- you could mix colors, or do it all in one color or whatever, be creative! You can also do different types of circles- solid, chains between the double crochet stitches to create spaces, or mixed with a round of each.

Make about 1 Extra-large circle, and 8 each of Large, Medium and Small circles
