Autumn Lane Table Runner

Fall is my favorite season! I love the cooler weather, pretty colors and SWEATERS are BACK! I'm a sucker for an oversized, cozy sweater.

As usual, I'm behind on my seasonal crocheting... I planned to release this one a few weeks ago but life just gets crazy sometimes. If only there were more crochet hours in a day!

Without further ado, here's my Autumn Lane table runner (or sideboard runner- our kitchen/dining room is still under construction so I don't have a table to photograph at the moment...)

Happy Crocheting!

Color A:

Row 13: ch 3, *dc in ch 1 sp, FPtr in next dc3tog; rep from * to last, dc in last, turn.

Color B:

Row 14: ch 2, hdc in each stitch across. Finish off. (*On the second one- do not finish off

here. Turn, and seam this piece together with the other side on R14. Ensure the two

sides match as on the back of R13 you will see the stitch behind the post due to the

FPtr- see assembly)

Border (Color C)

At the base of Row 1: Reattach yarn, sc in each stitch across.

Finish off.

Assembly:

You will seam the two halves of the runner together on Row 14.

**Make sure the back of both pieces line up as you can see the stitches from the FPTR on Row 13 on the backside (see arrow 2 in the image below)

You will slip stitch along Row 14 on both sides of each halve to attach. Sl St in back loop only (See Image Arrow 1).

After the two are seamed together, sew in ends and block. I had to block mine in sections because it is so long. I use a spray bottle with water in it for projects like these so I can wet sections at a time.

Tassels- Make 10

I made 1 in Color A, 2 in Color B and C

For each tassel:

• Cut 10 pieces of yarn at about 6 inches in length

• Pull 9 pieces through desired space on end (half on front/half on back), ensure choices for tassels are evenly spaced apart.

• Using the 10th piece, tie around top of yarn to secure.

After doing this for each tassel- trim to desired length.
