Level of Difficulty

Intermediate

You should be comfortable with basic crochet stitches (chain, double crochet, slip stitch) and joining motifs. The pattern includes assembly and simple sewing.

Materials

• Yarn:
  • Duna mercerized 100% cotton yarn (100g balls)
    • White (Color 8): 2 balls
    • Orange (9059): 1 ball
    • Pink (9427): 1 ball
    • Green (9392): 1 ball
    • Yellow (9368): 1 ball
• Crochet Hook: 2.5mm
• Tapestry Needle (for sewing motifs)
• Golden Pearls: 7 pieces (for flower centers)
• Hot Glue (for pearl application)

Pattern

1. Prepare Your Materials

• Gather all yarn colors, hook, tapestry needle, pearls, and glue.
• Have two balls of white yarn for the border/background; one ball of each other color suffices.

2. Make Triangle Motifs

• Create 10 triangle motifs:
  • 5 triangles with yellow-centered flowers.
  • 5 triangles with pink-centered flowers.
• Tutorial for triangle motifs is in the "Flowers and Motifs" section on the recommended website.
• Set triangles aside for assembly.

3. Crochet Seashell Flowers

• Make 7 seashell flowers as follows:
  • 4 with pink petals
  • 2 with yellow petals
  • 1 with orange petals
• Use the flower-only version (without the square border).
• As you crochet each flower, join them together by connecting the petals:
  • After finishing the first flower, when making each next flower, on the sixth petal stitch, join it to the previous flower using a single crochet through the center of the petal.
  • Alternate pink, yellow, and orange flowers for a varied color sequence.

4. Attach Pearls

• Apply a small amount of hot glue in the center of each flower.
• Place a golden pearl on the glue.
• Let dry.

5. Work the Border

• Using white yarn, join to a top-center petal of one of the flowers.
• Make a scalloped chain border around the entire circle of flowers:
  • Chain 15, then slip stitch into the center petal of the next flower.
  • Repeat until you have chained around all flowers. Jump one petal between each slip stitch.
  • Adjust the number of chains if needed (15–18) for tension.
• Slip stitch to join at the end, forming an oval frame.

6. Add Crochet Rows (Rectangle Frame)

• First Row:
  • Chain 3 (counts as first DC), work 2 more DC into the first chain space, creating a group of 3 DC.
  • Chain 1, skip one chain of the base, and make another group of 3 DC in the next chain.
  • Continue: [3 DC, ch 1, skip 1] around.
  • In the corners, work [3 DC, ch 1, 3 DC] into the same space to form a V-shape.
• Following Rows:
  • At the start of each row, slip stitch to reach the first ch-1 space.
  • Chain 3 (counts as DC), 2 DC in same space.
  • Continue groups of [3 DC, ch 1] in each ch-1 space.
  • In corner V-space: [3 DC, ch 1, 3 DC].
  • Work a total of 4 border rows for a nice rectangular frame.
• Finish off and weave in ends.

7. Join Triangle Motifs

• Alternate pink and yellow motif colors.
• Using white yarn and tapestry needle, whipstitch the motifs to the outer edge of the rectangle, matching the small chains and pattern at the joints for an invisible finish.
• Sew from inside to outside, picking up only the top loops of the stitches for neatness.

8. Finishing

• Weave in any loose ends.
• Ensure joins are secure.
• Gently block the table runner for best shape.

Suggestions & Uses

• Tutor’s Suggestion: If your chain stitches pull too tight around the flower border, increase from 15 to 18 chains for smoothness.
• General Use: This table runner is perfect for spring or summer table décor, holiday celebrations, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

Tip

For an even, professional look:
When sewing motifs together, only grab one loop on the motif edge and one on the main piece to keep seams flat and nearly invisible!

Conclusion

Congratulations! By following these steps, you’ve created an exclusive and eye-catching floral crochet table runner. This project is a fantastic way to practice motif joining and playing with color.
