Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start by making a foundation chain of 18 stitches. This will be the base of your table runner.

Step 2: Row 1

In this row, you will create the first set of double crochet stitches:

1. In the 5th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc).
2. Next, *chain 3, skip the next 3 chains, and make a double crochet in the following chain; repeat from * across the entire row.

Step 3: Row 2

Now, let’s create the lace pattern:

1. Chain 4 and turn your work.
2. In the next double crochet from Row 1, make a double crochet.
3. Chain 3, then make another double crochet in the next double crochet from Row 1.
4. Repeat from * across the row until you reach the end.

Step 4: Continue the Pattern

To achieve the desired length for your table runner, continue repeating Row 2 until you reach your preferred length. Keep measuring as you go to ensure it fits your table perfectly.

Step 5: Create the Scalloped Edge

Once you have reached your desired length, it’s time to add the finishing touch:

1. Work 5 double crochets into each chain-3 space along the edge of your table runner. This will create a beautiful scalloped edge.

Step 6: Finishing Up

To complete your project:

1. Fasten off your yarn securely.
2. Weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle to give your table runner a clean finish.
