Ila’s Table Runner – Free Crochet Pattern

April 7, 2018

This table runner was a fun challenge. I will say that my favorite part is the web-like center. I am feeling inspired by it, and the wheels are turning on what else I could make similar to this. If you have any ideas, share them with me below!

Two weeks ago, one of my cousins sent me this picture she received from a family member, and asked if I could make it to gift to said family member. The color request was “to match the dining room set”, and I received a few more pictures of the table, and chair cushions.


I pulled out some yarn I had in my stash, and worked a bit. Once I established the design, I went to my local JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby, in search of colors to match the table set. I really wanted a solid olive green, but I couldn’t find one in either store. Other colors of the set included light yellow, cranberry, brown and dark purple. 


The closest I got was at Hobby Lobby with Yellow, and Olive Branch. Olive Branch is a variegated yarn to include olive green, light brown, light yellow, and copper.

*If you would like a PDF version of this post, you may get one through my EyeLoveKnots Etsy Shop or EyeLoveKnots Craftsy Shop for a small fee. This fee is to compensate for the view/s lost once you no longer need to return to the blog for the information, as you will have your own copy. Plus! It helps fund supplies for new projects to share with you!
Shop EyeLoveKnots Etsy – Ila’s Table Runner; 
or EyeLoveKnots Craftsy – Ila’s Table Runner.


Materials:
     – 550 Yards of Worsted Weight Cotton Yarn – I used Crafter’s Secret Yarn. 5 Skeins in the Olive Branch colorway, and about half of one skein of the Yellow colorway
     – I9/5.5mm Crochet Hook
     – Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends

Material Notes:
     You could use Lily Sugar n Cream in place of Crafter’s Secret Yarn, but use with an H8/5mm crochet hook.


Really, you can use any yarn to create this runner. Only thing I will stress is the purpose of your runner. As decoration, any yarn will work just fine. If you will be using this on a table that you will be eating and drinking on too, I recommend cotton or wool with no synthetic yarn (acrylic, polyamide, nylon…) within it. Why? Synthetic’s could melt if something hot were placed on top of, and don’t hold up as well to moisture.

Time Spent:
     I worked this runner is a few seatings, but in total, just under five hours.

Measurements:
     Measured as photographed, 40.75″ tall by 32″ wide across the center


Gauge:
     15 DC by 7 Rows = 4″ by 3.75″

Abbreviations:
     HDC – Half Double Crochet
     DC – Double Crochet

     Join to the beginning chain.

    Alexandra, you did an amazing job! That pattern is awesome. I've tried making a crocheting pattern by looking at it, but I really stink, so I'm so impressed at how well this came out.

        Simple typo. It’s 9x for 10 spaces.

    You did such a great job creating this. My nan could look at a photo of crochet and just recreate it too. Such an amazing skill. Your family is very lucky to have you!

    That's a really original pattern. It would look great on my table too, now if I could just find the time to make it…

    What a beautiful and unusual table runner. Also, great tip to use natural fibers if using around hot items.

    I found the pattern, but I am having a big problem. I have completed the pattern through R11. I have 144 double crochet stitches and the pattern states 168. All the way to this point it calls for 20 double crochet stitches, which I have. This is 10 spaces between. What have I done wrong or missed?

      I am trying to look at my picture, and put Round 11 to it. I do think there is an error here… It should be 10 spaces as you have, then Round 11 is 12 double crochet in each of these chains, and 1 double crochet in each of the 2 double crochets. Math aside, just work this around, and it will be correct.

        Hi!

        Thanks for a beautyful pattern!
        I’m so glad that you’ve already answered this, because I just got to round 11 and I too was confused by the 11x.

    Looking at this pattern and I don’t see what round I am to change to variegated color. Am I missing the instruction?

    You’re right. I made two versions of this, the first in a solid color, which I wrote my pattern on. Change at Round 12.

      Do you mean to save it on Pinterest? I downloaded the Pinterest icon to my Chrome toolbar, and so I just hit that button (or push the button that shows over the photo).
