Crochet Table Runner Pattern

Materials

• Cream or off-white cotton crochet yarn
• Crochet hook suitable for the yarn
• Yarn needle
• Scissors

Main Round Motif

1. Make a magic ring.
2. Work a foundation of chain stitches and close with a slip stitch.
3. Work rounds of double crochet stitches, increasing evenly around the circle to create a flat, round motif.
4. Continue working concentric rounds until the circle reaches the desired size.
5. Finish the outer round with a neat edging of single crochet stitches.

Floral Motifs

1. Create a small center ring.
2. Work 8 petals around the center using chain stitches and double crochet/puff-style stitches.
3. Shape each petal with the indicated stitches from the diagram.
4. Join the final petal with a slip stitch.
5. Make several flowers in matching cream yarn.

Leaf Motifs

1. Chain the required length for the leaf.
2. Work single crochet and double crochet stitches along one side of the chain.
3. Turn and work along the opposite side.
4. Increase slightly around the tip to create the pointed leaf shape.
5. Finish with a slip stitch and weave in the ends.

Assembly

• Arrange the large circular motifs vertically to form the center of the runner.
• Position the flowers and leaves between and around the circles as shown in the photo.
• Attach the motifs using slip stitches or small, discreet sewing stitches.
• Keep the spacing symmetrical so the runner lies flat on the table.

Finishing

• Weave in all loose ends securely.
• Lightly block the entire runner to straighten the circles, flowers, and leaves.
• Allow it to dry completely before placing it on the table.

Stitch key from the diagram:
○ = chain stitch
• = slip stitch

• = single crochet
  T = double crochet
  Oval symbol = puff stitch
  Leaf shape = leaf worked in rows

The photo’s diagram does not show every stitch count clearly enough to guarantee an exact row-by-row written pattern, so the instructions above follow the visible construction and stitch symbols rather than inventing counts.
