Table Runner for Beginners

Hello friends, How are you? Hope every thing is fine on your end. Here in India we have some relief hereing the news that from 16th Jan Corona Vaccination will start. Since ten months we both (me and my hubby) are totally in the home just like jail. One of the member from our village, brings every thing for us what ever we needed. Because of him only it is possible for us to stay at home totally. When both son and daughter are abroad, you have to take such intense care. Any way.... But the good thing is still in this long period, I never get boared and I always tried that all my crocheters and knitters followers and subscribers of blog and youtube channel also should not get boared. So in this period I made variety of videos. Variety in both, in usefulness and in its difficulty level. One table runner I have already made as a Dinner set, But some of my subscribers have told me that puff stitch is difficult for them so please show the simple one. Then I made this (in fig 1) which is very simple. This design can be used for stole, shawl, table cloth, bags, cushion covers etc Pattern: Chains required for the pattern are, multiple of 12 plus 3 that is I want 51 stitches. So make chs 50+3 R1: dc 1 in each st starting from 4th ch. (51 sts). ch3 turn,

R2: dc 1 in next 2 sts, [(ch3, skip 1 st, tr 1 in next st) 4 times, ch3, skip 1 st, dc1 in each of the next 3 sts] 4 times, lastly dc 1 in 3 sts, ch3, turn,

R3: dc 1 in 2 sts, (ch3, sc 1 in each of the 4 sts, ch3,dc 1 on dc-sts) rep till end, ch3 turn,

R4: dc 1 on 2 sts, (ch3, sc 1 on each of the 4 sc- sts, ch3, dc 1 on 3 dc-sts) rep till end. ch3 turn,

R5: dc 1 on 2 sts, [(ch1, tr1 on sc-st) 4 times, ch1, dc 1 on 3 dc-sts] rep till end. ch3 turn,

R6: dc 1 on each st and dc 1 in ch1-space (51 sts). ch3 turn

Repeat R2 to R6 till the required length ( we make 20"). We get 11"x 20" piece.

Then I also made two pieces of 3x4 designs. Small pieces are 9"x8".

Border: Join red yarn at some corner. R1: (ch3, skip 3 sts, sc 1 in next) rep along all 4 sides. For each pattern there will be four ch3-spaces.

R2: sl st on ch 3 sp, {[ch1, (dc1, ch3-picot, ch1) 5 times] in ch3-sp, join by sc 1 in next ch3-sp, ch3, sc 1 in next ch3-sp} repeat along all four sides.

The beautiful but simple table runner is ready.

Also make border to other two pieces. The following video with English subtitles may help you. ETC: Enjoy the Creativity.
