Crochet table runner “Viola”
Decorate your home with nice table runner.
Crocheted runners make a soft and nice impression in the room, now you can crochet your own. The only thing you need is EKO Nano and crochet hook 6 mm. The pattern is simple and is great for beginners. A tip is to crochet placemats with this pattern or maybe a rug? You determine the width and length yourself. The color in the video is “Light peach”.
Yarn Access: approx. 450 g for a runner measuring approx. 32 x 80 cm.
This is what you need:
Here's how to do it
The runner can easily be made into a placemat or mat instead. You choose the width yourself by adding/removing loops on the chain. The more loops the wider the runner will be. Then you crochet as long as you want your runner/tablet/mat. The pattern is simple but will be incredibly beautiful in your home. Good luck to you! /Lizette
Step 1 Chain
Start by crocheting a chain. Start by making a loop around the crochet hook. One way you can do this is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that the loop locks when you tighten. Then crochet loops, pick up yarn and pull through. The number of loops depends a little on how long you want the width of your runner/tablet/mat. For reference, 30 loops are crocheted in the video.
Row 2
Now we will crochet row 2 on the runner. We start by skipping the first mesh and going down into the second mesh. Go down, pick up yarn and pull through. You have two loops on the crochet hook, pick up the yarn again and pull through. You have crocheted a single crochet stitch. Crochet in the same way until you are at the end of the chain. You should have one stitch fewer than the number of loops that you crocheted.
When you are at the end of the chain, crochet a loop and turn your work.
Row 3 and forward
Now let's start with the technique that will give the runner its structure. We will crochet every second fixed stitch and every other double crochet
Skip the first stitch (the loop you just crocheted) and start in the second stitch. Crochet a single crochet (single crochet: go down, pick up yarn and pull through. You have two loops on the crochet hook, pick up the yarn again and pull through). In the stitch after that you crochet a double crochet. (double crochet: Take the yarn over the crochet and go down into the stitch, pick up yarn and pull through. You now have three loops on the crochet hook. Pick up again and pull through two of them. Pick up yarn again and then through the last two).
Continue crocheting every second single crochet stitch and every other double crochet until you are at the end of the row.
When you get to the end, remember which stitch you ended the row with, whether it was a single crochet or a double crochet. Now crochet a loop and turn.
The next row is crocheted in the same way, every second single crochet, every other double crochet. The mask you are going to start with depends on which one you finished with. If you finished the last row with a single crochet, start the next row with a double crochet.
Continue until you are satisfied with the length!
