Thanksgiving Crochet Patterns for the Table: Runners & Placemats

The table runner is the star of the table, and it’s where most Thanksgiving crochet patterns start. Pick the Thankful tapestry runner for a true Thanksgiving piece, falling leaves for autumn color, or a chunky cable runner that stays out through Christmas. Finish with placemats and coasters.

How to Plan Your Thanksgiving Crochet Projects

Thanksgiving comes fast once Halloween is over, so plan your makes backwards from the big day. Start with the biggest piece first: a table runner takes two to three weeks of evening crochet. Placemats and pillows come next, and the quick makes (mini pumpkins, single leaves and the turkey) can be finished in the last week.

Pick one colour palette for the whole table so every piece looks like a set. Pumpkin orange, gold, cream and a deep burgundy or brown work for almost all of these Thanksgiving crochet patterns. Most of them use worsted weight (#4) yarn; if you’re swapping yarns, the Craft Yarn Council yarn weight chart shows which yarns are interchangeable.

New to crochet? Begin with the simple pumpkin or the maple and oak leaves. They teach the basic stitches you’ll use in every other pattern on this page, and you’ll have table decor finished in an afternoon.

What You’ll Need

Most of the patterns on this page use the same basic kit, so you can stock up once and make the whole table. Check each pattern for its exact hook or needle size and how much yarn it needs.

• Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver (worsted weight, #4). This is our go-to yarn for pumpkins, leaves, garlands and table decor. It comes in a huge range of colours, so you can match pumpkin orange, gold, burgundy and warm browns to your table, and it holds its shape and washes well.
• Crochet hook: the Clover Amour 5.5mm (I-9) hook is the size we use most, or grab the Susan Bates ergonomic hook set to cover several sizes at once.
• Knitting needles: Clover Takumi bamboo circular needles are our favourites. Check each pattern for the size it calls for.
• Large-eye tapestry needle for weaving in ends and sewing pieces together.
• Fiskars micro-tip scissors for clean yarn cuts.
• Polyester fiberfill to stuff pumpkins and the turkey.

Thanksgiving Crochet Patterns FAQ

What can I crochet for Thanksgiving?

Pumpkins, a turkey amigurumi and a table runner cover the whole table. Add crochet maple leaves as place-card toppers or a garland, and placemats or coasters if you have more time.

What is the quickest Thanksgiving crochet project?

Mini crochet pumpkins and single maple or oak leaves work up in well under an hour each, so you can make a set for every place setting the week of Thanksgiving.

Are there knit Thanksgiving patterns too?

Yes. The simple pumpkin comes in knit and crochet versions, and there are knit cable pumpkins, a cable braid knit table runner and knit checkered placemats on this page.

When should I start my Thanksgiving table runner?

Start in late October or early November. A table runner is the biggest make on this list, so give it two to three weeks and make the small pumpkins and leaves last.
