This table runner and coaster set are perfect for your summer holiday decor. The fringe is optional but I think it goes well with the fireworks theme, don’t you? And soft but sturdy Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn means it’s durable as well as beautiful!

Table Runner Pattern
Gauge:
14 dc and 7 dc rows = 4”
Dimensions:
17 1/2” wide by 55” long (without fringe)
Abbreviations:
Ch – chain
Dc – double crochet
Hdc – half double crochet
Hdc2tog – half double crochet 2 together
Dc2tog – double crochet 2 together
Yo – yarn over
Sk – skip
St, sts – stitch, stitches
Special Stitches:
Hdc2tog – Yarn over, insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo, insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (5 loops on hook), yo draw through all 5 loops. Creates 1 decrease.
Dc2tog – Yarn over, insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), yo, pull through 2 loops (2 loops on hook), yo, insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (4 loops on hook), yo, pull through 2 loops (3 loops on hook), yo, pull through last 3 loops. Creates 1 decrease.
Notes:
- I highly recommend using stitch markers to easily keep your rows even. Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of a row, and you will know where to crochet your last stitch when you get back to that end.
- You will be doing 15 stitches up and 15 stitches down each side and 3 stitches at the peak.
- There is a dc2tog or hdc2tog at the beginning and end of each row – these do not count as stitches. So when you are counting 15 up and 15 down at the beginning and end of the rows, don’t include them in the count.
- The two decreases (either dc2tog or hdc2tog) in the “valleys” count as stitches. Again to clarify, when you’re counting 15 stitches up and 15 stitches down, these will be included in those numbers.
- The repeat is 33+3 if you’d like to make the runner larger or smaller.
- Except for Row 64, all Blue rows are done in dc, and all Red and White rows are done in hdc.

For the fringe (optional):
Cut your strands of yarn 15” long. You will need 70 strands of Red and 6 strands of White for each end. (This is a little more red than you should need but I like to cut extra just in case.) To attach the fringe, fold each strand in half, pull the loop through the space where you want it, and then pull the two loose ends through the loop. Tighten. I placed one strand in each stitch along each edge. As you can see in the photo, I only used the white in the peaks and valleys. So there are 2 strands of white at each peak or valley, and the rest is done in red.
Star Coaster Pattern
Materials:
Hook size G/6 – 4.00 mm
Stitch markers
Gauge:
4 dc = 1” (measured in Row 4)
Dimensions:
Approximately 5” from tip to tip
Abbreviations:
Ch – chain
Sc – single crochet
Dc – double crochet
Tc – treble crochet
Ss – slip stitch
St, sts – stitch, stitches
Notes:
- Beginning chains count as stitches.
- I prefer a magic circle to start so there’s no hole in the middle. However, if you’d like, you can chain 2 and work 4 sc into the second chain from hook for Round 1.
- Do build-up chains loosely to make it easier to get your hook through for the slip stitch at the end of each round.
- I highly recommend putting a stitch marker in the top of your build-up chain, it makes it much easier to find where to place your slip stitches.
- These look best if you block them to really accentuate the shape.
Instructions:
Make a magic circle. (Or use optional instructions in Notes.)
Round 1: Sc five times into the magic circle. Join with a ss. (5 sts)
Round 2: Ch 1, sc in first st, 2 sc in next st and in each stitch around, ss to join. (10 sts)
Round 3: Ch 2, 1 dc in first st, 2 dc in each stitch around, ss to join. (20 sts)
Round 4: Ch 2, 2 dc in next st, *1 dc in next st, 2 dc in next st*, repeat from * to * around, ss to join. (30 sts)
Round 5: Ch 1, sc in next stitch, sc, dc, (dc, tc, ch 2, ss in 2nd ch from hook – picot made, tc, dc) in next st, dc *sc, sc, sc, dc, (dc, tc, ch 2, ss in 2nd ch from hook – picot made, tc, dc) in next st, dc*, repeat from * to * three more times, sc in last st, ss to join.
