Granny square table runner
I had never made granny squares. So I googled and found this great tutorial on Craftpassion. I followed this tutorial and made some granny squares. Then I joined them together and added border to make this table runner.
Abbreviations/ stitches used (US terms)
Ch- chain
Tr- treble crochet
Dc- double crochet
Sl st- slip stitch
Things you will need:
- Worsted weight yarn in 5 colours (4 colours for granny squares and 1 colour for joining and border)
- I/9 (5.5 mm) crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Pair of scissors
Make total 12 granny squares. I used 4 colours and I made 3 granny squares of each colour. I have worked the 1st round in a ch instead of 4 ch circle or magic ring method. Click here for the details.
Pattern:
Granny square:
Round 1: ch 3, 12 dc in 3rd ch from the hook. Sl st in 1st dc. Pull the yarn tail tightly to close the centre of the circle. (12 dc)
