Square Design Satin Challah Cover with Round Inset and Crystals #557

A square design with a round inset at its center, worked in satin and crushed velvet, set with genuine Swarovski crystal elements. The two shapes are the whole idea — the square frame gives the cover its formality, the circle inside softens the middle where the challos sit, and the change of fabric between them makes the boundary read without any outlining at all.

Made in the large size, 19.5 by 23.5. That is the dimension the design wants: the square frame needs to sit clear of the edge of the board, and the round inset needs room to stay circular rather than disappearing under the drape. Over a long board it falls evenly on all four sides.

A matzah cover is made in the same 557 pattern. The square-and-circle geometry is unusual enough that most people who buy one end up wanting the other, and a matzah cover in a design already sitting on your Shabbos table makes the Seder look planned rather than improvised.
