How to crochet Shamrock Table Runner

February 22, 2023

While waiting for the green leaves to spring up again, I invite you to crochet the Shamrock Table Runner with me. You will create the cute leaves for your table using filet crochet technique, which is very easy to do with the helpful chart. Shamrock Table Runner is a part of my Nature and Holiday 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 Shamrock 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.

VIDEO TUTORIAL OF SHAMROCK TABLE RUNNER

WRITTEN PATTERN OF SHAMROCK TABLE RUNNER

To crochet the Shamrock Table Runner I use Golo thread size 10 green (color A) and white (color B) for the edge. One ball has 250 yards and it’s enough for 3 leaves.  Crochet hook is size 1.75 mm. My table runner measures about 17.5 inches long and 8 inches wide.


Abbreviations:
ch = chain
dc = double crochet
beg = beginning
sc = single crochet
sl st = slip stitch
dc2-cl = 2 double crochet cluster

Special stitches:
dc2-cl = insert hook in indicated space, (yarn over, pull up a loop, pull through first 2 loops) twice, pull through 3 loops on hook.
ch3+dc = ch 3 and dc inserting hook in top of dc2-cl upper loops.

Pattern notes:
With asymmetrical pattern like the Shamrock 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.).
  • With color A ch 89.
  • Row 1 = (read chart from right) dc in 8th ch from the hook (=beg open block), *ch 2, skip 2 ch, dc in next ch, repeat from* (28 open blocks).
  • Row 2 = (read chart from left) ch 5 and turn, dc in next dc (=beg open block), *ch 2 and dc in next dc, repeat from*, finish the row with last dc in 3rd ch of beg 8-ch (28 open blocks).
  • Row 3 = repeat row 2.
  • Row 4 = 8 open blocks: ch 5 and turn, dc in next dc (=beg open block), *ch 2 and dc in next dc, repeat from* and make 8 open blocks including beg open block, next 2 solid blocks: (dc 2 in next ch2-space, dc in next dc) twice, next 18 open blocks: *ch 2 and dc in next dc, repeat from*, finish the row with last dc in 3rd ch of beg 5-ch.
