Materials Needed

• Yarn: Lightweight cotton yarn in cream
• Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 10 stitches and 8 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin by chaining 60 loosely. Make sure your chain is not too tight, as this will affect the overall drape of your table runner.
2. Row 1: In the 5th chain from your hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 2, skip the next 2 chains, and dc in the next chain; repeat from * across the entire row. When you reach the end, turn your work.
3. Row 2: Start by chaining 4 (this counts as your first dc and a chain 1). Now, *dc in the next dc from the previous row, chain 2, skip the next chain-2 space, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Make sure to end this row with a dc in the 3rd chain of your turning chain from Row 1. Turn your work again.
4. Continue the Pattern: Repeat Row 2 until your piece measures your desired length. Keep checking your work to ensure the lace pattern remains consistent and beautiful.
5. Edging: Once your table runner has reached the desired length, it’s time to add an edging. Chain 1, then single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire piece. When you reach the corners, place 3 sc in each corner to help it lay flat. Finally, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc you made. Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.

Now you have a beautiful Elegant Lace Crochet Table Runner that adds a touch of sophistication to any table setting. Enjoy your crafting!
