Main Motifs
Crochet several circular burgundy motifs using cream yarn for the decorative edging.
Begin with a magic ring.
Round 1: Work single crochet stitches into the ring and close the round.
Round 2: Increase evenly around to create a flat circle.
Round 3–8: Continue with double crochet stitches and evenly spaced increases until the burgundy circle reaches the desired size.
Final round: Change to cream yarn and work a decorative scalloped crochet border around the entire circle.
Make several circles in different sizes and arrange them alternately along the length of the runner.
Cream Lace Motifs
Create large cream circular lace motifs.
Begin with a magic ring.
Work several rounds of double crochet, chains and open spaces to form a delicate lace pattern.
Continue increasing gradually so the motif remains flat.
Finish with an openwork mesh section and a scalloped picot-style border.
Make several motifs in different sizes.
Joining the Motifs
Arrange the burgundy circles and cream lace circles in an alternating, overlapping composition.
Join the motifs with small slip stitches or carefully sew them together with matching cream yarn.
Keep the runner slightly asymmetrical, following the floral arrangement shown in the photo.
Crochet Flowers
Use burgundy yarn.
Begin with a magic ring.
Round 1: Work a circle of single crochet.
Round 2: Create the first layer of petals using double crochet stitches separated by chain spaces.
Round 3: Work another layer of larger petals around the previous layer.
Shape the petals so they curve slightly upward to create a dimensional flower.
Make three large flowers and attach them at different points along the runner.
Flower Centers
Use cream yarn.
Crochet a small circular center or attach small cream beads around the center.
Secure the beads firmly and sew the finished center onto each burgundy flower.
Crochet Leaves
Use olive-green yarn.
Chain approximately 10–14 stitches for the leaf foundation.
Work single crochet, half-double crochet and double crochet stitches along one side of the chain.
Continue around the opposite side to form an elongated pointed leaf.
Add a central line using slip stitches or surface crochet.
Make several leaves in different sizes.
Assembly
Position the burgundy flowers over the cream lace motifs.
Place the olive-green leaves around each flower, pointing in different directions.
Sew all flowers and leaves securely onto the runner.
Connect any remaining gaps between motifs with small cream crochet chains and decorative stitches.
Finishing
Carefully weave in all yarn ends.
Lightly block the entire runner to flatten the circular motifs and define the lacework.
Shape the scalloped edges evenly.
Allow the piece to dry completely before placing it on the table.
Final Result
A long elegant crochet table runner featuring cream lace circles, deep burgundy circular motifs, dimensional burgundy flowers, olive-green leaves and delicate scalloped edging.
