Pattern Instructions:

Leaf Motif:

  1. Begin with a magic ring and work 12 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Pull the ring tight, and join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc.
  2. Chain 6, skip 1 sc, sl st in the next sc. Repeat from * to * around the circle. You will have 6 chain-6 loops.
  3. In each chain-6 loop, work the following: (3 double crochet (dc), chain 3, 3 dc, chain 3, sl st). This forms the first leaf. Repeat this step in each of the 6 chain-6 loops.
  4. Fasten off and weave in ends.
  5. To create the veins of the leaves, use a contrasting color of yarn and embroider a simple line down the center of each leaf using a yarn needle.

Assembly:

  1. Decide on the size of your table runner and the number of leaves you want to use. Arrange the leaves in a pleasing pattern.
  2. Join the leaves together by slip stitching through the chain-3 spaces along the edges. Make sure to maintain the desired spacing between the leaves.
  3. Once all the leaves are joined, add a border around the entire table runner. This can be a simple single crochet border in a complementary color.
