A square motif by Herbert Niebling which makes a pretty doily or you can knit a lot of them, graft them together and make a tablecloth or table runner. If you want to do that, skip the last round (the decrease round) and keep the stitches on waste yarn. Once you graft all your squares together, do the decreases around the entire cloth with the crochet hook. You can see a picture of this doily in the Ravelry database.
Instructions: Start in the center of the tablecloth. Cast on 4 stitches. Knit one round, and then begin following the chart, repeating it 4 times in the round. Knit all intermediate rounds. In rounds 6 and 20 knit 11 stitches from the 3 YOs alternating knit and purl stitches. Where there are double YOs, knit the first loop and purl the second loop.
In rounds 35 to 56, in each repeat knit the stitches inside the strong border twice, and the stitches outside the border only once. In 57-66 knit for each repeat 1 time all stitches and 1 time the stitchess from the beginning to the strong line. After round 66, decrease as indicated with a crochet hook, and chain 11 between decreases.

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!
