How to Crochet A Table Runner

If you’ve never made a table runner before — don’t worry! This pattern walks you through every step.

The Fall Skies & Apple Pies Crochet Table Runner is worked flat in rows, combining written instructions and a colorwork chart to make it easy to visualize your progress.

Each stitch is like a little pixel in your fall masterpiece — coming together to create a rich tapestry of autumn color. If you’re new to crochet colorwork, check out my Crochet Colorwork Guide first. It covers the basics of intarsia crochet, tapestry crochet, and other techniques so you can find the one that works best for you.

This project uses a combination of intarsia crochet and carrying yarn across the back, making it flexible and forgiving — perfect for beginners who want to experiment with color.

? Pro Tip: Use crochet bobbins or small yarn balls to help manage your colors. Since the back won’t be visible, focus on maintaining consistent tension and keeping your front stitches neat.

Example: (B) x 9 = with Color B sc the next 9 stitches

There is no need to chain 1 at the beginning of each row. Without the chain 1, you will have straighter edges. Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch in the row.
