Floral Crochet Table Runner

Materials

Cream cotton yarn for the base and border

Dusty rose, white and golden yellow yarn for flowers

Crochet hook appropriate for the yarn weight

Yarn needle, scissors and blocking pins

Construction

Crochet the flower centers first, then work elongated petals around each center.

Create large square or rectangular floral motifs with dusty-rose outer petals and cream openwork corners.

Make enough motifs to reach the desired runner length; the reference image shows a single long row.

Join the motifs neatly edge-to-edge, keeping the flowers centered and aligned.

Work cream openwork rounds along both long sides to create the lace-like framework.

Finish the entire runner with a broad scalloped shell border.

Weave in all ends and wet-block the runner so the motifs and border lie flat and even.

Finishing

Secure all joins carefully, weave in loose ends, shape the piece by hand, and block lightly where appropriate. Keep hanging ornaments balanced so they sit straight when suspended.
