Patriotic Table Runner Free Crochet Pattern
For this free crochet pattern we are using red, white, and blue cotton yarn; one skein of each (like this) should more than enough. If you are adding the white stars, as mentioned below, grab an extra skein of the white. Yay for cheap and fun crochet projects!
Materials:
Cotton yarn in red, white, and blue
-approx. 60 yards of blue
-approx. 110 yards of red
-approx. 100 yards of white (plus some if you add stars)
Crochet hook in size H/5mm
Notes:
The ch-2 at the beginning of the round does NOT count as a stitch. Place first stitch of each row in same as join.
Pattern written using US terms.
You are free to sell the finished product from this pattern, but please reference/credit this pattern and Heart Hook Home when you do so. See my Terms of Use for more information.
This pattern is worked in rounds, starting with the blue center, then alternating between white and red.
Finished table runner dimensions:
Approx. 33″ long x 11″ wide
If you would like to add length to the table runner, add to the beginning chain in multiples of 12 stitches. 12 is the count of the repeat in the “flat” portion of rows 4 – 9. Do one additional repeat for every 12 sts added.

How awesome is this table runner?! Super fast and super fun once you get the hang of the repeats. If you like, you could use some more of your white yarn and make some of these Crochet Stars.
Whip up 8 (or so) of these stars and sew them evenly spaced down the length of the blue. I decided to leave them off of mine, but if you add them, I’d love to see your photos!
