This cheerful runner combines four floral square motifs in a vertical center panel with long ivory filet sections and a saturated orange scalloped edge. The square construction keeps the daisies perfectly aligned, while the surrounding side panels stretch the design into an elegant runner. It is an approachable modular project because the flowers and squares can be completed first, joined, and then framed with the long border sections.

Gauge and Pattern Notes
One completed daisy square should measure about 15-17 cm (6-6.75 in) after blocking. Exact row gauge is less important than making all four squares identical.
Pattern note: This is an independently written, photo-inspired approximation based on the visible construction in the supplied image. It is not copied from a published pattern. Yarn weight, hook size, tension and blocking can change the finished measurements, so small adjustments are expected.
Method
Four matching daisy squares are made first and joined into a long center strip. Ivory filet mesh is then worked along both sides. At each end, the side panels curve around in half-rounds to create the long rounded rectangle seen in the image. A contrasting orange shell border finishes the entire perimeter.
Formation / Construction Plan
Crochet four daisy centers and their white petals.
Turn each flower into an orange square and block all four to equal size.
Join the squares in a straight vertical column.
Work ivory filet panels along both long sides.
Shape the top and bottom into rounded ends.
Work an orange shell border around the runner.
Block again to open the mesh and sharpen the flower motifs.
Full Pattern
Daisy Center – Make 4
With golden yellow, MR, ch 2, 12 hdc in ring. Join.
Rnd 2: Ch 1, 2 sc in each st around. Join. FO.
White Daisy Petals
Join ivory in any stitch of the center.
Repeat 12 times: ch 7, starting in 2nd ch work sl st, sc, hdc, 2 dc, hdc; sl st into next center stitch.
Gently steam the petals so they lie flat and evenly spaced.
Orange Square Around Flower
Join orange between two petals. Ch 3.
Rnd 1: *3 dc in space between petals, ch 1* around. Join.
Rnd 2: Work (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) in four evenly spaced corner gaps. Work 3 dc in each remaining ch-1 sp.
Rnd 3: Repeat granny groups, keeping (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) at each corner.
Rnd 4: Ch 1, sc in every st and ch space around, working (sc, ch 2, sc) in each corner. FO.
Block each square to exactly the same measurements.
Join the Four Squares
Lay squares RS up in a straight line with flowers oriented the same way.
Whipstitch or mattress-stitch adjacent edges together through the back loops only for a flat seam.
Reinforce the four corner intersections so the center strip does not pull apart.
Ivory Side Filet Panels
Join ivory at the top-left corner of the joined strip.
Row 1: Ch 3, dc evenly down the long side, placing about 3 dc per square-edge cluster. Turn.
Row 2: Ch 4, *sk 1, dc in next st, ch 1* across. Turn.
Row 3: Ch 3, dc in each dc and ch-1 sp across. Turn.
Repeat Rows 2-3 until the panel measures about 9-10 cm (3.5-4 in) wide. FO.
Repeat the same panel along the opposite long side.
Rounded Ends
Join ivory at one top corner. Work dc across the top edge of the center strip and both side panels.
Work 7 dc into each top corner, then a second row with 2 dc in each of the center five corner sts to round the end.
Work two more rows, distributing 10-12 increases evenly around the curved top end.
Repeat the same shaping at the lower end.
Orange Outer Border
Join orange anywhere on the outer edge and work one full round of sc.
Next round: *Sc in next 2 sts, ch 4, sk 2 sts* around, shortening to ch 3 at tight curves.
Final round: In each ch-4 sp work 1 sc, 6 dc, 1 sc to create bold shells. At the very top and bottom center, use 7 dc in the shell for a fuller curve.
FO and weave in ends.
Finishing and Blocking
Block the entire runner to a long rounded rectangle, pinning the daisy squares perfectly centered.
Open every filet square with blocking pins so the side panels look even.
Shape the orange shells one by one along the outer border.
Check that all daisies face the same direction and that the center strip is straight.
Weave in all ends on the WS and trim carefully.
Optional Variations
Use sage green instead of orange for a spring version.
Make six squares instead of four for an extra-long dining table.
Use sunflowers with brown centers and golden petals for an autumn variation.
Keep the entire runner in one color for a subtle textured look.
