GAUGE: Rounds 1-3 = 2″ (5 cm); 1 motif = 6″ (15 cm), blocked and stiffened. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.

Runner measures 45” x 13½” (114.5 x 34.5 cm)

Special Stitches

beg dc4tog = Ch 2, [yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 3 times, yarn over, draw through all 4 loops on hook.

dc2tog = [Yarn over, insert hook in next ch-3 space, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 2 times, yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook.

dc4tog = [Yarn over, insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up loop, yarn over, draw through 2 loops] 4 times, yarn over, draw through all 5 loops on hook.

dtr (double treble crochet) = [Yarn over] 3 times, insert hook in indicated stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, [yarn over and draw through 2 loops on hook] 4 times.

V-st = (dc, ch 3, dc) in indicated stitch or space.

V-st-join = (dc, ch 1, slip st in corresponding V-st of neighboring motif, ch 1, dc).

Notes

1. Runner is made from 25 motifs, arranged into 3 rows of 8, 9, and 8 motifs each.

2. Each motif is worked in joined rounds with right side facing at all times.

3. Motifs are joined to neighboring motifs using a “join-as-you-go” technique as the last round is worked. Hold the motifs with wrong sides together and stitches matching.

4. Make and join motifs to neighboring motifs according to Assembly Diagram and instructions.

5. Motifs’ cupping will flatten when blocked. For best results, block every 3 motifs as you work.
