Materials Needed

Yarn: DK weight cotton yarn in seafoam green and sandy beige
Crochet Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
Gauge: 16 stitches x 20 rows = 4 inches in wave pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Foundation Row

Begin by making a slip knot with the seafoam green yarn. Chain 180 stitches. This will form the foundation of your table runner.

2. Row 1

In the 4th chain from the hook, make a double crochet (dc). Then, *chain 1, skip the next chain, and make a dc in the following chain; repeat from * across the row. Once you reach the end, turn your work.

3. Row 2

Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc). Make a dc in the next dc from the previous row. Then, *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and make a dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work at the end of the row.

4. Row 3

Change to sandy beige yarn. Chain 3, then dc in the next dc. Repeat the pattern from Row 2: *chain 1, skip the next chain-1 space, and dc in the next dc; repeat from * across the row. Turn your work.

5. Rows 4-20

Continue to alternate colors every 2 rows to create the striped wave effect. For Rows 4 and 5, use sandy beige. For Rows 6 and 7, switch back to seafoam green. Repeat this pattern until you have completed a total of 20 rows.

6. Edging

To finish your table runner, switch back to seafoam green yarn. Chain 1 and single crochet (sc) evenly around the entire runner. Be sure to work 3 sc in each corner to maintain a neat finish. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
