Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in cream
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 cm x 10 cm = 20 sts x 24 rows in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 60 stitches. Ensure that your chain is not too tight; it should be flexible enough for the lace pattern.
2. Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 1, skip 1 chain, and dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the row. After finishing, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Now, *chain 1, skip 1 dc, and dc in the next chain-1 space; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work again.
4. Continue the Pattern: Repeat the pattern established in Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 10 rows. Make sure to keep your tension consistent for an even finish.
5. Begin Lace Motif: For Row 11, chain 3, then *chain 3, single crochet (sc) in the next chain-1 space, chain 3, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
6. Row 12: Chain 3, then *chain 3, sc in the next chain-3 space, chain 3, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
7. Repeat Lace Rows: Continue repeating Rows 11 and 12 for a total of 20 rows. This will create the beautiful lace effect that characterizes your table runner.
8. Scalloped Edge: To finish the edges, work 5 dc in each chain-3 space along both edges of the table runner. This will give your piece a lovely scalloped finish.
9. Finishing Touches: Once you have completed the scalloped edge, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle. This will ensure your work is neat and tidy.
