Materials Needed:
- Crochet hook
- Yarn of your choice
Starting the Pattern:
Round 1: Creating the Magic Ring
Make a magic ring.
Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
Yarn over, insert hook into the ring, and make 2 double crochets.
In the same ring, make 1 more double crochet.
Repeat: 3 double crochets, 3 chains, and 3 more double crochets in the same ring until you have 4 groups of 3 double crochets.
Chain 3 and close the ring by pulling the yarn, then insert the hook into the top chain of the first double crochet.
Round 2: Establishing Corners
Insert the hook in the next chain and make a slip stitch; repeat in the next chain.
Insert hook into the chain space, make a single crochet, chain 2 (counts as the first double crochet). Yarn over and make 2 more double crochets in the same chain space.
Chain 3 and make 3 more double crochets in the same chain space to create your first corner.
Chain 1, skip the next 3 double crochets, and move to the second corner.
Repeat the corner pattern: 3 double crochets, 3 chains, 3 double crochets.
Chain 1 and proceed to the next corner, following the same pattern until round completion.
End round 2 with 3 double crochets, 3 chains, 3 double crochets in the last corner, chain 1, then join with a slip stitch in the second chain.
For Round 3: Expanding the Pattern
Work a slip stitch to reach the corner, make a single crochet in 2 chains (counted as the first double crochet).
Make 2 more double crochets in the same chain space.
Chain 3, then 3 more double crochets in the same space, chain 1.
Yarn over, insert hook in the chain space between the 2 groups of double crochets, and make 3 double crochets.
Chain 1 and move to the next corner, repeating the corner pattern and the chain-3 double crochet pattern between groups until the round is complete.
Round 4: Adding More Chain Spaces
Repeat round 3’s pattern, noting the increase to 2 chain spaces between groups of double crochets.
Work 3 double crochets in each chain space, chain 1 between spaces, and create corners as previously directed.
This round increases chain spaces to a total of 3.
Round 5 and Beyond: Continuous Pattern Expansion
Repeat the patterns from rounds 3 and 4. Starting round 6, focus on making the inner part of the runner.
After round 12, change colors to start the next segment.
Inner Part Pattern:
Initial Setup:
Skip the first 3 chain spaces, insert the hook in the fourth chain space.
Skip the next two chain spaces, insert hook in the third chain space, and make a single crochet.
Chain 2 (counted as the first double crochet), yarn over, and make 2 more double crochets in the same space.
Rows 2 to 4:
Continue with the established pattern of 3 double crochets in each chain space, working corners as outlined, until you reach the end of row 2.
For rows 3 and 4, maintain the pattern of creating groups of double crochets and turning the work at the end of each row.
Final Rounds:
Repeat the pattern for rows 3 and 4 until you complete the final round of the pattern.
Completion:
After completing the final round, you will have a beautifully crocheted table runner adorned with intricate flower patterns on both sides.
