• Gauge: 22 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches in lace pattern.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Begin with a foundation chain of 200 stitches using sunflower yellow yarn. Make sure your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: Work 1 single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. This will create a solid base for your runner. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 3 (this counts as a double crochet (dc)), then *skip 2 stitches, work 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. This creates a lovely lace effect. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Chain 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch across. This will help to stabilize the lace pattern. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Change to meadow green yarn. Chain 4 (counts as a triple crochet (tr)), then *skip 3 stitches, work 7 triple crochets (tr) in the next stitch, skip 3 stitches, work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
6. Row 5: Chain 1, then work 1 sc in each stitch across. This will keep the pattern consistent. Turn your work.
7. Row 6: Change to sky blue yarn. Chain 3 (counts as a double crochet (dc)), then *skip 2 stitches, work 5 double crochets (dc) in the next stitch, skip 2 stitches, work 1 single crochet (sc) in the next stitch; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.
8. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 3-6 until the table runner measures approximately 60 inches in length. Make sure to measure as you go to ensure accuracy.
9. Finishing Border: To finish, switch back to sunflower yellow yarn. Work 1 round of single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire runner. In each corner, work 3 single crochets (sc) to maintain the shape. This will give your runner a neat and polished look.
10. Final Touch: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle. This will ensure your work is tidy and ready for display.

The finished table runner will be a rectangular piece measuring approximately 14 inches wide and 60 inches long, featuring alternating bands of sunflower yellow, meadow green, and sky blue. The intricate lace patterns resemble blooming flowers and delicate vines, creating an airy and light texture with a soft, flowing drape. Enjoy your beautiful creation!
