What is a Table Runner?
Generally, a table runner is a narrow length of cloth laid on top of tablecloths or on a bare table. They can be used in a variety of ways. Laid down the center of the table for a decoration, laid across the table to identify seating. Additionally, a runner can be used to carry out a theme and enhance the color scheme throughout your home décor.
First off, this pattern does not start with the traditional chain stitch followed by the double crochet. Often, when I start a pattern this way, I feel that the chain stitches stretch and leave an unsightly gap. Therefore, this pattern starts with the No Chain Double Crochet.
Secondly, when completing a double crochet in a project, the row will start with a chain 3. When doing this, sometimes, there is a gap between the first chain 3 and the first double crochet. Depending on what you are making, this can be very noticeable.
The Chainless Standing Double Crochet is a method of starting off that double crochet row without the gap. Learn how with this quick crochet tutorial. This crochet technique helps amp up the professional look of your crochet piece.
