Clover Table Runner is an easy crochet pattern to make a lacy springtime home decor. This pattern is light and airy, perfect for those breezy summer afternoons. The lace-like design allows the table’s natural beauty to shine through while adding a delicate touch of craftsmanship.
With this pattern you will learn to crochet four-leaf clover stitch and chain fringe for the border.
It’s an easy pattern, suitable for beginners to learn basic and not so basic crochet stitches. Once again I used Golo crochet thread to make this table runner, just like many of my other table runners. It’s fun to see the pattern in multi-color version, but I made a mini version of it with bright green color to show you the beautiful stitch in solid color.
The Clover Table Runner definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make the the piece wet, stretch it out on blocking mats and attach it with pins. I also spray some starch to give it extra firm shape. Let it dry completely before removing the pins.
