Our semi-filet runner boasts the beauty of fall with two glorious wheat chaffs on opposing ends. Chaffs are composed of post sts that are tied around the center with yarn ties that give way to popcorn tops. The center is accented with crocheted strips that are woven through. You’ll feel you’re standing in a wheat field! While technically part of the design is filet, this pattern is not charted. Rated challenging.
