Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in six colors: teal, coral, mustard, forest green, lavender, and cream.
• Hook: Size H/8 (5.0 mm) crochet hook.
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in double crochet.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Chain: Start by making a foundation chain of 150 stitches using the cream yarn. Ensure that your chain is not twisted.
2. Row 1: Turn your work, skip the first chain, and work 1 double crochet (dc) in each of the remaining chains across. You should have a total of 149 double crochets at the end of this row.
3. Row 2: Change to teal yarn. Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc), then *skip 1 dc, and work 1 dc in the next dc, chain 1*. Repeat from * to * across the row, ending with 1 dc in the last dc. You will create a lovely open texture with chain spaces.
4. Row 3: Change to coral yarn. Chain 3, then work 1 dc in each chain-1 space from the previous row and dc across to the end of the row.
5. Rows 4-5: Repeat Rows 2-3 using mustard yarn. Make sure to maintain the same stitch count and pattern.
6. Rows 6-7: Switch to forest green yarn and repeat Rows 2-3. This will add depth and richness to your runner.
7. Rows 8-9: Change to lavender yarn and repeat Rows 2-3. Continue to alternate colors to create the vibrant mosaic effect.
8. Continue Pattern: Keep alternating colors in the established pattern until your table runner measures approximately 60 inches or your desired length.
9. Finish with a Border: Using cream yarn, work 1 round of single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire edge of the runner. Place 3 sc in each corner to ensure the border lays flat and looks neat.
10. Final Touch: Fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a yarn needle. This will give your table runner a clean and polished look.
