Okay friends, we are round the last few days where we still have time to work up some holiday patterns in time to enjoy them this season! Check out this table runner!
I’ve worked this up using a chunky yarn and a large gauge crochet hook so the stitches really pop. The large gauge also helps us work this up quickly. This is a great way to spruce up your holiday table or gift to your dinner host this season! If you’re new to crochet cable stitches, do not worry! We have included a few step-by-step photos that walk you through the “tricky’ parts, you’ll be a pro in no time.
Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

UPDATE November 2024:
I hope that you’re enjoying your current projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.
After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.
However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.
I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.
Please visit my Etsy shop HERE to view and purchase my collection.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.
