Gerhard
Gerhard is composed of a 15 cm wide lace edging sewn to a 20 cm in diameter round of silk fabric, to make a 50 cm wide table topper.
Take the round of silk fabric, 20 cm in diameter, roll the raw edge under and stitch it down. Use a fine crochet hook to crochet tightly all around the edge. Pick up 180 stitches evenly spaced around the circle and knit two rounds. Begin following the chart, repeating the pattern 30 times per round.
In the 63rd round bind off the stitches with a crochet hook as follows: decrease as many stitches as indicated in the last round with a single crochet stitch, and chain 9 between the decreases. In the following round chain 11 stitches, and then single crochet into the sc of the previous round. Repeat around the entire perimeter. In the next round, chain 12 and single crochet into the center of a loop from the previous round. Repeat around the entire perimeter, connecting the last sc to the first ch 12 with 5 chain stitches.

Remember:
- Feel free to download and use the charts, print copies for your own use. However, you may not print them out and share them with others. Send folks to my website so they can download for themselves.
- I don't own the original pattern, but I do own my recharted version. So, please don't copy my charts and claim them as your own or publish them under your name. If you want to have your own charts, then find the original patterns and rechart them yourself!
- Do not sell copies of these charts. If I don't charge for my recharts, you certainly shouldn't charge for my recharts!
