How to crochet Leafy Table Runner

Thanksgiving is near and I would like to share the pattern of my Leafy Table Runner to decorate your dinner table.

This one is easy to crochet, so I recommend the Leafy Table Runner for beginners.

It will look beautiful in one solid color or in changing colors. Golo thread collection has the perfect multi-color thread called Colorful Purple to add the fall mood and festive look at the same time to your Thanksgiving dinner.

The table runner definitely needs blocking after you finish it. I usually make 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.
