Abbreviations: MR = magic ring, ch = chain, sl st = slip stitch, sc = single crochet, hdc = half double crochet, dc = double crochet, tr = treble crochet, inc = 2 stitches in the same stitch, st(s) = stitch(es).
Large Circle Motif — Make 6
Round 1: MR, ch 2, work 12 dc into ring. Join with sl st.
Round 2: Ch 2, 2 dc in each st around. Join.
Round 3: Ch 2, 1 dc, 2 dc in next st around. Join.
Round 4: Ch 2, 2 dc, 2 dc in next st around. Join.
Round 5: Ch 2, 3 dc, 2 dc in next st around. Join.
Round 6: Ch 2, 4 dc, 2 dc in next st around. Join.
Continue increasing in the same manner until the circle reaches approximately 20–23 cm diameter. Fasten off.
Openwork Flower — Make 4
Round 1: MR, ch 1, work 12 sc into ring. Join.
Round 2: Ch 5, skip 1 st, sl st in next st. Repeat around to create 6 loops.
Round 3: Into each ch-5 loop work:
1 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Round 4: Working behind the petals, ch 7, sl st between the next two petals. Repeat around.
Round 5: Into each ch-7 loop work:
1 sc, 1 hdc, 5 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Fasten off. The flower should have a clearly open/lacy appearance like the photo.
Small Ring Motif — Make about 8
Ch 16–20 and join with sl st to form a ring.
Round 1: Work sc closely around the chain ring until completely covered. Join with sl st.
Round 2: Work 1 sc in each st around. Join and fasten off.
The center must remain open.
Leaf — Make about 10–12
Ch 10.
Starting in second ch from hook:
1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 tr, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Work 3 sc into the last chain, then continue along the opposite side:
1 sc, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 2 tr, 1 dc, 1 hdc, 1 sc.
Sl st at the base and fasten off.
For a more pointed leaf, finish with a small picot at the tip.
Assembly
Arrange the 6 large circles vertically as shown in the photo. The arrangement is not a perfectly straight chain: some circles slightly overlap or sit diagonally beside one another.
Place the 4 openwork flowers along alternating sides of the large circles. Add the small rings in the empty spaces, then position pairs of leaves around the flowers and between selected circles.
Once you are happy with the arrangement, sew each touching point firmly with matching yarn. Keep the joins small and hidden on the back so the individual motifs remain clearly defined.
Finally, block the entire runner flat and allow it to dry completely.
Approximate finished size: with 20–23 cm circles, about 120–145 cm long × 40–50 cm wide, depending on the spacing and yarn thickness.
Materials: Cotton yarn, 3–4 mm crochet hook, yarn needle, scissors.
