79 × 61 cm or 120 × 61 cm — what's it going on top of?

Both are 61 cm deep, so this is a length decision and nothing else. These are small, deliberate pieces — a layer you put over something, not a blanket you disappear under. Measure the surface first, then pick.

Choose	If this sounds like you
79 × 61 cm	A pram or bassinet cover, a lap piece for an armchair, or a small runner across a side table or the top of a dresser.
120 × 61 cm	Laid across the foot of a bed as a decorative band, a runner down a dining or console table, or draped over the back of a sofa.

Buying it as a gift for a new baby? The 79 × 61 cm is the one that fits a pram without trailing on the wheels.

Won't an open crochet snag on everything?

Openwork catches on hooks, claws and rings — that's the honest trade for the look. A snagged loop is not a hole, though, and it's fixable in about ten seconds if you know the one thing not to do.

Works	Avoid
Easing a pulled loop back through with a knitting needle or crochet hook	Pulling the loop tight to hide it — that distorts the whole row around it
Hand wash cool, or a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle	A loose machine wash with zips and buttons, which is exactly what open crochet catches on
Drying it flat, pressed into shape with your hands	Hanging it wet — the weight of the water stretches the openwork out of square

The step people skip: laying it flat and squaring the corners with your hands while it's still damp. Crochet takes the shape you leave it in. Two minutes there and it dries the size it started; skip it and it comes out longer and narrower every wash.

The one thing in the room that clearly took someone time.

Most soft furnishings are flat rectangles of printed fabric, and after a certain point a room full of them starts to look like a catalogue page. Crochet reads differently because the pattern is the structure — there's no ground fabric with a design on it, just yarn worked into flowers with actual gaps between them. Light passes through it. Whatever it's lying on shows in the holes. That's why one small piece changes a bed or a table more than a much larger printed throw would.

Why openwork needs something underneath it to work

This is the part people get wrong. An open crochet piece has no opacity of its own — hang it in isolation and the flowers vanish into a busy visual mess. Put it over a plain contrasting surface and the whole thing snaps into focus: the negative space between the petals becomes part of the pattern, and the flowers read as raised objects rather than as a texture.

So the rule for placing it is contrast underneath. On a white duvet, a coloured crochet piece looks like a deliberate band of colour. On a dark timber table, the flowers stand out as clearly as if they were on paper. On a busy floral bedspread, it disappears. That single decision — what goes under it — does more for how good this looks than anything else you could change.

The two sizes, in a room

79 × 61 cm — the small one. This is the pram and bassinet size, and the one people buy as a baby gift because it looks handmade in a way that a printed cot blanket never does. It also works as a lap piece over the arm of a reading chair, or laid across the top of a chest of drawers under a lamp and a couple of framed photos.
120 × 61 cm — the long one. Across the foot of a double bed it makes a clean horizontal band that breaks up a plain duvet. Down the centre of a dining or console table it works as a runner, with the surface colour showing through the openwork. Over the back of a sofa it drapes with real weight rather than sliding off.
