About This Pink Poinsettia Snowflake Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern
This Christmas table runner has three dusty rose poinsettias with pearl centers, surrounded by cream and pale gold snowflakes, sage green leaves and burgundy berries. Everything sits on a cream lace base, and the finished runner measures about 9 inches wide and 26 inches long.
Each piece is a small motif worked on its own and then sewn onto the lace base. It suits crocheters who enjoy detail and want a real heirloom for the holidays.
Why You'll Love This Pink Poinsettia Snowflake Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern
I love how the poinsettia petals look carved even though they are only simple stitches. The soft pink against the cream lace feels warm and cozy.
Because every motif is small, you can work on it in short sessions and still see progress every evening.
Switch Things Up
Make the poinsettias in classic red for a traditional look, or in white for a winter table. You can also swap the pearl beads for gold buttons, use sage leaves only, or make a shorter version with a single poinsettia.

Assembly Instructions
- Block the lace base panel, all snowflakes and all leaves flat and let them dry.
- Lay the base panel on a table and place the three poinsettias down the center, one near each end and one in the middle.
- Arrange the large cream snowflakes between the flowers and the small pale gold snowflakes along the sides.
- Tuck two or three sage leaves under each poinsettia so they peek out between the petals.
- Pin everything in place, then sew each motif to the base with small stitches in matching yarn.
- Sew the berries in small clusters of three near the leaves.
- Stitch the pearl beads into the flower centers with sewing thread, then weave in all ends.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
Making the chain spikes too tight; keep them loose so the snowflake points lie flat.
Skipping blocking, which leaves the poinsettia petals curled; pin them out as they dry.
Sewing the poinsettia layers with the petals lined up; turn the top layer so the petals alternate.
Sewing the motifs on before laying them out; arrange everything first so the colors are balanced.

Important Notes
Gauge does not need to be exact, but a firm tension keeps the petals crisp.
Cotton yarn holds its shape best for the poinsettias.
Hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry; remove the beads first if you plan to wash it often.
I hope this runner makes your Christmas table feel a little more special. Happy hooking!
