St. Patrick's Day Table Runner

I designed this graph at Stitchfiddle.com

Yarn:

Red Heart Super Saver -Pumpkin- Stripe on hat and border.

Red Heart Super Saver - Paddy Green clovers hat and border

Red Heart Super Saver- Black buckle on hat

Red Heart With Love Metalic- White background and border

Hook: H 5.0

You will want to print out the graph so that you can mark off the rows as you go.

To make this I started in the botton left corner.  I designed it with the corner to corner stitch (C2C).

There are many turtorials on youtube that will show you how to do the stitch.  There are several color changes.  You will want to sew in your ends as you go.  I do not tie mine in knots. They come undone and they leave bumps and the table runner will not lay flat.

For the border: 

Round 1: Pumpkin.  I used double crochet all the way around.  The first row is always the hardest. You have to create spaces and you have to make sure you do not put in too many spaces so that the work does not bunch up.  

Round 2: White.  Single crochet in each stitch all the way around.

Round 3: Paddy. Half double crochet in each stitch all the way around.

Round 4: White. Single crochet in each stitch all the way around.

Round 5: Pumpkin.  Double crochet in each stitch all the way around.

This is really designers choice.  You can make it any color you want or use any border you want.. 

The orange yarn was left over yarn from another project.  So was the black I used for the buckle on the hat.

I crocheted this using the Corner to corner stitch or C2C.  I started in the bottom left corner.  There are many tutorials on youtube how to crochet this stitch.  There will be many color changes also so you might want to weave in your ends as you go.  I do not carry the yarn through because I want the back of the project to look clean and also I want it to sit flat on the table.
