Have you ever wanted a home that is perfectly decorated? I know I do. I also know handmade decor items stand out more than store-bought items. These cozy home vibes are why I wanted to create a table runner for my seasonal home decor. And of course, offer the Thankful Table Runner Free Crochet Pattern for you to enjoy as well. Not only is it great for Thanksgiving, but displayed at any time of the year.
Right now farmhouse home decor is hot and so many people have fallen in love with the chic decor. The farmhouse style is what I had in mind when I was designing this table runner. I wanted the perfect lettering to be displayed across my table.
And have you seen the Harvest Crochet Pillow Cover? While I display my pillow in a different room, by using the same yarn it brings a cohesive look to my decorating.

Table Runner Free Crochet Pattern Notes:
- This pattern is worked from the bottom up in rows and in single crochet sts.
- After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
- Since there are a wrong side and a right side to the table runner, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the colorwork. Experiment and see what works best for you.
- Please visit https://brianakdesigns.com/ways-to-colorwork-in-crochet/ for a full tutorial on colorwork as well as a FREE Sheep Yarn Bobbin Printable to assist you with this project. No one loves tangles.
Oatmeal Yarn Color is abbreviated as A
Black Yarn color is abbreviated as B
*Special Crochet Tip:
When chaining a large number of stitches try out this trick to prevent any twists in your starting chain, visit the No Chain Twists Ever post.

Finishing the Crochet Table Runner:
Fasten off and weave in ends. Continue to optional fringe.
Crochet Edge Fringe:
It is completely optional if you would like to put a fringe on the ends of your table runner. I’ve fallen in love with twisted fringe and I think you just might too. For video instructions visit:

It is much appreciated and adored!
Thank you! Can't wait to start. My Niece will love it.
Thank you very much! This is such a great pattern, and adaptable too. I appreciate both the charted and written instructions. I've subscribed on YouTube and am looking forward to your videos.
Thanks for following!
I noticed some of the rows have just a letter no number afterwards.
On those rows it's simply 1 sc stitch 🙂
I am trying to make this for the first time. Having issues with Row 18, A27, B11. The graph says B9 but written says B11? Am I reading it wrong?
If graph is right would be Row 18-A27, B9, A10, B4, A4 and so on? Not sure if I'm messed up? LOL
When looking at the chart and reading it from the left to the right, the written instructions are correct. It would be Row 18 [WS]: A27, B11, A9, B3, A4, B2, A, B3, A2, B2, A3, B3, A3, B3, A4, B2, A2, B3, A2, B2, A4, B2, A, B8, A6, B2, A, B2, A6, B3, A3, B2, A4, B4, A10, B9, A32
Am working on this as my first table runner and looking ahead to the border, is it possible the first * in border row 2 should be after the ch1 rather than before? Do you really mean to ch1 in every repeat? Thanks for the fun pattern, can't wait to try the fringe.
Yes 🙂 For the border I changed up the stitches to be more of a moss stitch 🙂
Made your table runner for our Thanksgiving table this year 2020 and to create a family tradition. Love it but ended up having to order a 4th skein of the oatmeal yarn. I ended up being short for last two rows, border and fringe. Used up rest as coasters.
Hi Briana
Thank you for this beautiful design. Quick question, I'm left handed and crochet in the opposite direction. Will the design still work? Or will my "thankful" be in a mirror image? Lol
Thanks
Simple work it using the chart starting from the bottom left-hand corner. 🙂
This is why I love when there's a chart included, as I'm also left handed!
Hi,
Absolutely love your projects! I am between a beginner and intermediate. I really think I can tackle this project and understand the technique and pattern. My dilemma is, I don’t know how to calculate how many bobbins I will need. Can you help me please? Thank you 🙏🏻 😊
Hey there! I had your free download but now the page is gone. I guess I was supposed to save it (I don’t have a printer). Any chance I can have it again? If not it’s ok, I can still use the one with the ads
I'm so sorry but it was only for a limited time. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you can know right away if it's ever on this type of promo again. Thanks
I am just working the border and am a little confused. You say “sc in first, ch 1, skip 1, s in next” is the single “s” supposed to be a slip stitch, or a single crochet?
Thanks!
It's a sc, sorry about that type, updated the blog 🙂
Hey there! Absolutely love this! I'm having a hard time finding the right yarn. If you don't mind...what weight and yardage is the vanna's? I'm going to try to find something similar so I can make this for my grandmother and mother in law!
This site is really helpful for yarn info and substitutes. It's often my go to. This link should take you to the info: https://yarnsub.com/yarns/lion_brand/vannas_choice_solids_heathers_and_twists
For the border, it says to repeat from * to * but there are no stars.
Fixed, thanks so much for letting me know.
I had so much fun making this, I'll never make plain old fringe again! I'm thankful for your generosity ~ you are so sweet to share!
