Continue working additional rounds in the same manner, increasing the number of stitches and ch-2 spaces in each round until your square motif reaches the desired size for your tablecloth.
Once you have created multiple square motifs, you can join them together by sewing or crocheting them along the edges to form the tablecloth.
Remember to weave in any loose ends and block your tablecloth to give it a neat and polished look.
Feel free to customize the size and color of the motifs to suit your preferences and table dimensions. Enjoy creating your crocheted tablecloth!
