The Rose Gold Table Runner is the perfect pick if you’re all about spicing up your dining area or making an event look fancy. It’s got a gorgeous, shiny look that grabs everyone’s attention, and it is quite easy to crochet! Whether you’re a beginner or have been at it for years, this project is a fun one to tackle. The cool rose gold color brings a classy vibe to any table.
I use a stitch called ‘shells and picots’ and two colors of thread to crochet the Rose Gold Table Runner. The stitch itself is easy, but it asks to cut off thread at the end of each row to start the next one with the next color. This option definitely doesn’t work for me, since I don’t want to spend hours on weaving in all the ends. So I figured out a way to change colors without cutting off thread. Please see my video tutorial, if you’d like to do the same.
The Rose Gold 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.

dc = double crochet
yo = yarn over
sl st = slip stitch

Special stitches:
Shell with picot = dc 2 in indicated stitch, ch 3 and sl st in dc below, dc 2 in same stitch.
Dc2-cl = (yo, insert hook in indicated space, yo, pull up a loop, yo, pull through first 2 loops) twice, yo, pull through 3 loops on hook.
Ch3-picot = ch 3, sl st in dc below.
