Christmas Table Runner

Christmas Table Runner

 

 

 

I designed this graph at Stitch Fiddle

Yarn Used:
Red Heart Super Saver: Hunter Green - The back ground.
Red Heart With Love Metallic:  White - Santa's hat and Beard
Red Heart With Love Metallic: Red - Santa's hat, Santa's nose and mouth,  Rudolph's nose, the sleigh and the words HO HO HO.
Red Heart With Love Metallic: Black - For the Runners on Santa's sleigh, Santa's and Rudoplhs eyes.
Red Heart Super Saver : Oatmeal - Santa's bag of gifts.
Bernat Baby Sport:  Peach Blossom - Santa's Face.  I had to use two strands together as this is a very thin yarn.  
Red Heart Super Saver: Coffee- Rudolph's antlers
Red Heart Super Saver: Gold for Rudolph.

Crocheting the back ground I used almost two skeins of the Red Heart Super Saver Hunter green.  There is a lot of color changing.

Material:
Yarn
Sewing Needle
Scissors
Crochet hook.  H 5.0

This Table runner is made using the corner to corner stitch or C2C.  I started at the bottom left corner.  If you do not know how to crochet corner to corner there are several youtube turtorials.  Just type in corner to corner crochet in the search bar.  Also you will definitly want to sew in the ends as you go.  There will be a lot of color changes.
I use the Susan Bates finishing needles.  They are plastic, easy to thread and makes the process move much faster.

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

For the Border I used what is called the Candy Cane Crochet Border.  I learned how to do this watching the Youtube video from RepeatCrafterMe-Candy Cane Crochet Border.  This just makes the Table runner look so festive and fun.

This is really a designers choice.  You can use any color you want and besides the back ground I pretty much used scraps for the rest of it.

I hope you enjoy making this.
