Rose Table Runner

If you love roses as much as I do, then I hope you will want to crochet this beautiful Rose Table Runner with me. This one would make a wonderful gift for mothers. I know I will give my dark red Rose Table Runner to my Mom because she loves that color and the roses.

First, we crochet the roses with filet crochet technique and then add five rounds of border. The Rose Table Runner is part of my Nature Filet Crochet design series.

WHAT IS FILET CROCHET?

Filet means ‘net’ or ‘mesh’ in French. Using just chains and double crochet stitches and following the image chart it’s easy to do. You will find the full Rose chart below in the written pattern section.

Filet crochet consists of two types of blocks or squares making up the grid: open blocks are made with two chains and one double crochet, and solid blocks are made with three double crochet stitches. The first block on each row starts with additional double crochet but from there it’s either ch2+dc (open) or dc3 (solid).

BLOCKING TABLE RUNNER

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.

WRITTEN PATTERN OF ROSE TABLE RUNNER

If you prefer ad-free printable PDF pattern, you can get it on:

I use Golo thread size 10 light pink (color A), pale pink (color B) and pale yellow (color C). Golo thread ball has 250 yards and one of each color is enough for the table runner. Crochet hook is size 1.75 mm. My table runner measures about 19 inches long and 7 inches wide.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
beg = beginning
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet

Special stitches:
ch3-picot = ch 3 and sl st in stitch below

Pattern notes:
With asymmetrical pattern like the Rose you need to read the chart from right to left on each odd-numbered row (1,3,5,etc.) and from left to right on each even-numbered row (2,4,6,etc.).
