Old-Shale Tablecloth

Note from Sarah: the sample cloth was knit with finer yarn than that in the pattern
I have made several changes, changing things like the size of the needles and using 4 ply Bernat cotton ... you will have a heavier tablecloth, but a beautiful one too.
Finished Size:
Approximately 72 inches in diameter using yarn
specified
Materials:
8/218 yard balls of Bernat Cotton (or your choice) I just bought them
as I was getting low, and when they were on sale.
1 set of No.5 double pointed needles
No. 5 circular needle 24" long
1 No. 6 circular needle 36" long
Pattern:
Begin at center.
With No. 5 dp needles, cast on 12 sts. Distribute them evenly on the three needles.
First rnd knit.
2nd rnd: *yo, k1, rep from * to end (24 sts) . Note: Throughout pattern, each yo counts as 1 stitch.
3rd and 4th rnds: As 1st and 2nd rounds (48sts)
5th, 6th, and 7th rnds: Knit.
8th rnd: *yo, k2, rep from * to end (72sts)
9th, 10th, 11th rnds: knit
12th rnd: *yo, k3, repeat from * to end (96sts).
Continue in this way working 3 knit rounds between each pattern rnd and when stitches become too crowded on needles, change to No.5 circular needle 24" long.
