Crochet Simple Table Runner
Crocheting a simple table runner can bring a touch of personalized charm to any dining space without much effort. Choosing a soft, durable yarn in your favorite color is the first step to creating a cozy and inviting addition to your table setting. With just a basic understanding of crochet stitches like chains, single crochets, and double crochets, you can easily create a lovely table runner to showcase your handiwork. This project is not only a fun and relaxing way to spend your time but also allows you to add a handmade touch to your home decor, making your dining area a warm and welcoming space for friends and family to gather around.

Size:The table runner measures approx. 31 cm x 71 cm (12.2'' x 28'').
You can adjust the length of the table runner by adding or subtracting pattern repeats.

You can adjust the width of the table runner by adding or subtracting stitches in a multiple of 3.
