Materials Needed

• Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn in cream and peach
• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 double crochets (dc) and 5 rows = 2 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 150 chains (ch) using the cream yarn. Ensure that your chain is not too tight to allow for easy stitching in the following rows.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Continue to dc in each chain across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Begin with a chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *chain 3, skip the next 2 dc, and dc in the next dc*. Repeat this pattern from * to the end of the row. Once complete, turn your work.
4. Row 3: Start with a chain 3. Now, *chain 3, and dc in the chain-3 space from the previous row*. Repeat this pattern from * to the end of the row. Turn your work again.
5. Continue Rows: Keep repeating Row 3 until your piece measures the desired length for your table runner. Remember to measure periodically to ensure it fits your table perfectly.
6. Change Yarn for Border: Once you have reached your desired length, switch to the peach yarn for the border.
7. Border Row 1: Attach the peach yarn at one end of your piece. Chain 3, then *make 5 dc in the next chain-3 space, followed by a single crochet (sc) in the next dc*. Repeat this pattern from * around the entire piece. Once you reach the starting point, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to complete the row.
8. Border Row 2: Chain 1 to begin. Now, *sc in the next 2 dc, chain 5, skip the next 3 dc, and sc in the next dc*. Repeat this pattern from * around the entire border. Join with a slip stitch to complete the row.
9. Finish Up: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will give your table runner a clean and polished look.
