Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your crochet project. This will serve as the foundation for your floral motifs.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-3. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then work 1 dc in the same stitch. Now, work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You should have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 36 dc.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until you reach Round 6. Your stitch count should be as follows:
   • Round 4: 48 dc
   • Round 5: 60 dc
   • Round 6: 72 dc
6. Round 7: Chain 3, then *dc in the next 5 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a sl st. You should have 84 dc.
7. Rounds 8-12: Work even in double crochet (dc) for these rounds. This means you will simply work 1 dc in each stitch around without increasing.
8. Round 13: Change to mustard yellow yarn. Work 1 round of single crochet (sc) around the entire piece.
9. Round 14: Change to cream yarn. Work 1 round of half double crochet (hdc) around the entire piece.
10. Round 15: Change to olive green yarn. Work 1 round of double crochet (dc) around the entire piece.
11. Repeat Rounds 13-15: Continue alternating between mustard yellow, cream, and olive green until you reach your desired length for the table runner.
12. Finishing Touch: To finish, work a round of reverse single crochet (also known as crab stitch) in mustard yellow around the entire edge of the table runner for a neat and polished look.
13. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends from your yarn. Make sure to secure them well to prevent unraveling.
