Amount: About 600–1000g total depending on desired length

📖 Stitches and Abbreviations (US Terms):

| dc | double crochet |
| tr | treble crochet |

🌼 Pattern Overview
The crochet runner is made by joining individual flower motifs together in rows using a join-as-you-go technique. Each motif includes:
- A yellow puff-stitch center
- Two layers of petals (white/cream)
- A leafy green hexagon border for easy joining
🔹 PART 1: Flower Motif Pattern
🔸 Round 1: Flower Center (Yellow Yarn)
- Start with a magic ring.
- Ch 1 (does not count), work 6 puff stitches, each separated by ch 1.
- (Puff st, ch 1) x6
- Sl st to first puff st to close.
- [6 puff st, 6 ch-1 spaces]
🔸 Round 2: Inner Petals (White/Cream)
- Join white in any ch-1 space.
- (Ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st) all in one ch-1 space to form a petal.
- Repeat in each space around.
- [6 soft petals]
🔸 Round 3: Outer Petals
- Flip the work slightly and sl st behind each petal base.
- (Ch 4, sl st between petals) around to make 6 loops.
- In each ch-4 loop, work:
- (Sc, hdc, 4 dc, hdc, sc)
Now you have a 3D double-layered flower.
🔹 PART 2: Leafy Hex Border (Green Yarn)
This outer round turns your flower into a hexagonal shape, making joining easy.
- Join green in any space between petals.
- (Ch 3, dc in same st, ch 1, 2 dc) in one st — this is a corner.
- (Sc in next petal base, dc in between petals) around to shape the hexagon.
- Ensure 6 corners form evenly.
Your flower should now resemble a hexagonal floral tile.
🔹 PART 3: Join-As-You-Go Method
- After completing the border of the first motif, do not fasten off the next motifs.
- On the second motif, when working the green border, slip stitch into corresponding stitches of the finished motif wherever edges touch.
- Join motifs side by side in rows, and stagger rows slightly for a honeycomb layout.
🔹 PART 4: Assembling the Runner
Runner Layout Ideas:
- Narrow table: 1 motif wide x 8–10 motifs long
- Standard dining table: 3 motifs wide x 8–12 long
- Dresser runner: 2 motifs wide x 5–6 long
- Wall hanging: 5 motifs wide x 5 long in a framed design
👉 For a cleaner edge, add a border once all motifs are joined.
Optional Border:
Work a final round in green or a neutral shade:
- Sc evenly around the runner, placing 3 sc in each corner.
- For elegance, do a picot edge or a shell stitch border:
- (Sc, skip 1, 5 dc in next st, skip 1) repeat
🎨 Customization Tips
- Use gradient yarns for petals for a soft ombré effect.
- Add beads or pearls to the center of flowers.
- Alternate between two petal colors for a bouquet effect.
- Use sparkle yarn in the center for festive occasions.
🧼 Care Instructions
- Hand wash or gentle machine wash (if yarn allows).
- Lay flat to dry; do not wring.
- Use blocking for crisp, professional edges.
