Assembly Instructions

  1. Block the runner flat to the final size.
  2. Weave in all ends with a yarn needle.
  3. Steam lightly and let it dry flat.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

Skipping blocking, which makes the rings curl.

Pulling color changes too tight, which puckers the motif.

Joining the squares with uneven tension, which makes the runner wavy.

Not counting the border stitches, which makes the scallops uneven.

Important Notes

Use cotton yarn so the runner lies flat on the table.

Keep the color order the same in every motif.

Work the border loosely so the edges do not pull in.

I hope this runner brings a pop of color to your table. Happy hooking!
