  • Cherry Red
  • Soft Brown
• 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Using the forest green yarn, make a slip knot and chain 200 stitches. This will form the base of your table runner.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). *Skip the next dc, dc in the next dc, then dc in the skipped dc (this creates a crossed dc). Repeat from * to the end of the row. Turn your work.
4. Rows 3-10: Repeat Row 2 for a total of 9 rows. This will create a textured pattern of crossed double crochet stitches.
5. Leaf Motif: Switch to cherry red yarn. Make a magic ring.
   • Round 1: Chain 3, then work 12 dc into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3.
   • Round 2: Chain 3, dc in the same stitch, then work 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
6. Attach Leaves: Using the soft brown yarn, evenly space and sew the cherry leaf motifs onto the runner. You can place them wherever you feel they enhance the design, ensuring they are securely attached.
7. Edging: With the forest green yarn, single crochet (sc) around the entire perimeter of the runner. Make sure to place 3 sc in each corner to maintain the shape. Once you reach the starting point, fasten off and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
