If you love incorporating cozy and individual accents into your home, you will definitely want to make the Thankful Table Runner crochet pattern by Briana K Designs. Featuring the inscribed word “Thankful”, it’s perfect for Thanksgiving and as a year-round decoration, adding a warm accent to your gatherings.
Tools for the Thankful Table Runner Pattern
Before you begin, ensure you have everything you need on hand to complete this crochet table runner. To make this pattern, you will need a 5.0 mm crochet hook and medium-weight yarn. The author uses Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, a 100% acrylic yarn known for its durability. However, any worsted yarn of your choice will work perfectly, too.
The color combo used for the original pattern will give your table runner a nice neutral look that will fit into every interior, especially if you are going for a rustic farmhouse look.
Guide to Crocheting Your Table Runner
The Thankful Table Runner crochet pattern uses tapestry crochet, a technique perfect for making intricate colorwork designs. It involves carrying a second strand of yarn and crocheting over it as you go, which allows you to create color changes without extra bulk.
This table runner pattern will suit those with basic experience in tapestry crochet, but adventurous beginners can also give it a try. The design is mostly composed of single crochet stitches and relatively simple color changes.
The table runner is worked in rows using either a chart or written instructions to create the lettering.
Can I Use a Different Yarn Weight?
Yes, you can try using different yarn weights to make this table runner. However, you should remember that it will change its size and might also affect its final look. If you go for bulkier yarn, your table runner might be overly thick and impractical to use.
On the other hand, using a lighter yarn and a smaller hook will create a more delicate, slimmed-down version that’s great for layering over tablecloths. If you decide to switch the recommended yarn weight, be sure to make the necessary adjustments to your yardage.
