This airy table runner would make a wonderful, thoughtful “thank-you” gift for a friend or family member who loves old-fashioned beauty. Crocheted with crochet cotton thread and a steel crochet hook this table runner features small motifs that are joined with the join-as-you-go technique. Tiny filler motifs are added between the joined small motifs.
