Materials Needed

• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 200 chains. Ensure that your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your table runner.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). In the next 3 stitches, make a dc. Now, *chain 2, skip 2 stitches, and dc in the next 4 stitches; repeat from * across the row. Once completed, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 3, then dc in each dc and chain across the row. Turn your work at the end.
5. Row 4: Chain 3, dc in the next 3 stitches. Now, *chain 2, skip 2 stitches, and dc in the next 4 stitches; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
6. Repeating Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 3 and 4 until your piece measures 12 inches in width. This will create the beautiful lace-like texture of your table runner.
7. Edging: To finish the edges, chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire runner. Make sure to work 3 sc in each corner to keep the edges neat. Once you complete the edging, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with your tapestry needle.
8. Floral Motifs: Using a contrasting color (soft cream), create small floral motifs. Start by making a magic ring, then chain 1 and make 10 single crochets (sc) in the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to close the ring. Attach these motifs randomly across the runner for a charming touch of floral elegance.
