Hi! The number 0.85 is used to scale the table length because the knitted table runner will grow in length after it is washed and blocked. If we did not use the 0.85 value and instead knit the table runner to be the full length of the table, it would hang over the edges after it is blocked. Towards the end of the video I show the length of the table runner before it is washed and blocked and after it is washed and blocked and show the length it grows. In the formula the 0.85 value does not change depending on the table length. So for example with my 82" table the formula is: [(82*0.85) - 12”]/2 = 29" If instead you had a 70" table you would only change the table length value and all the other constants (0.85, 12, and 2) in the formula would stay the same. With 70" the formula would be: [(70*0.85) - 12”]/2 = 24" I hope that helps to clarify!
You show everything, every step. Thanks! Please post other easy beginner projects. Merry Christmas.
