How to Create Crochet Patterns - A Step-by-Step Guide

When I received a request for a snowflake table runner crochet pattern, I decided to give it my best shot and design one. I had a bit of trouble trying to decide what to do for the edging, but after a few tries I came up with something that somewhat matches the snowflakes.

You can make the table runner as long and wide as you like. I crocheted three rows until it was long enough for the table. If you want, you could even make a table cloth with this pattern.

Material: Size 10 Crochet Cotton
Metal Hook Size: 8/1.50MM
Finished Measurement: With 3 rows it measures approximately 11 inches after blocking. After blocking, each flake measures approximately 4 inches from point to point and the edging measures between 0.5 to 1.5 inches.

Special Stitch Instructions:

Beg. Cl Shell: Ch 2, *(Yo and insert hook into st indicated, yo and pull through, yo and pull through 2 lps)* 2 times, (3 lps on hook), yo and pull through all 3 lps, (1st half of cl shell made), ch 3, repeat from * to * 3 times in same st, (4 lps on hook), yo and pull through all 4 lps. (2nd half of cl shell made).

Cl Shell: *(Yo and insert hook into st indicated, yo and pull through, yo and pull through 2 lps) 3 times, (4 lps on hook), yo and pull through all 4 lps*, (1st half of cl shell made), ch 3, repeat from * to * once in same st. (2nd half of cl shell made).

Picot Peak: Sc in next st, hdc in next st, dc in next st, ch 2, sl st on top of last dc made, hdc in next st, sc in next st.

Note: When joining two snowflakes together with a sl st, insert the hook from the bottom into the completed snowflake. When joining a corner where 2 corner lps have already been joined, join the 3rd corner in the sl st where the 2nd corner was joined.

Ch 6, join with sl st to form circle.

Rnd 1: Ch 1, (sc, ch 3) 6 times into circle, join with sl st. (6 lps)

Rnd 2: Sl st into lp, ch 1, (sc, ch 4) into first lp and into each lp around, join with sl st. (6 lps)

Rnd 3: Sl st into lp, ch 1, (sc, ch 6) in first lp and into each lp around, join with sl st. (6 lps)

Rnd 4: Work Beg. Cl Shell in first st, 4 sc in next lp, *cl shell in next sc st, 4 sc in next lp, repeat from * around, join with sl st.

Rnd 5: Ch 1, sc in 1st half of cl shell, *5 sc in lp of cl shell, sc in 2nd half of cl shell, ch 7, sk the next 4 sc sts**, sc in 1st half of next cl shell, repeat from * around ending at **, join with sl st.

Rnd 6 (for first snowflake): Ch 1, sk first st, *work picot peak, sk next st, (3 sc, ch 7, 3 sc) in next lp, sk next st, repeat from * around, join with sl st. Fasten off.

Rnd 6, Joining Rnd: Ch 1, sk first st, *work picot peak, sk next st, 3 sc in next lp, ch 3, sl st into corresponding lp of completed snowflake, ch 3, 3 sc in same lp on current snowflake, sk next st, repeat from * until all sides have been joined, then **work picot peak, sk next st, (3 sc, ch 7, 3 sc) in next lp**, sk next st, repeat from ** around, join with sl st. Fasten off.

Edging:

Rnd 1: With right side facing, join thread to any ch-7 lp along the side, ch 6 (counts as first dc and ch-3), dc into same lp, *[ch 11, (dc, ch 3, dc) in sl st where 2 lps were joined, ch 11, (dc, ch 3, dc) in next ch-7 lp], repeat between [ ] until you come to the corner (the 2nd consecutive ch-7 lp), ch 11, (dc, ch 3, dc) in next ch-7 lp, repeat from * around ending with a ch 11, join with sl st in first dc (3rd ch).

Rnd 2: Sl st into next 2 chs, work beg. cl shell in same ch, *ch 1, sk next ch and next dc, sc in next 3 chs, ch 1, sk next 2 chs, work cl shell in next ch, ch 1, sk next 2 chs, sc in next 3 chs, ch 1, sk next dc and next ch**, work cl shell in next ch, repeat from * around ending at **, join with sl st.

Rnd 3: Ch 1, sc in first half of cl shell, *5 sc in lp of cl shell, sc in 2nd half of cl shell, ch 3**, sc in first half of next cl shell, repeat from * around ending at **, join with sl st.

Rnd 4: Ch 1, sk first st, *work picot peak, sk next st, 5 sc in next lp, sk next st, repeat from * around, join with sl st. Fasten off.

To Block:

Dip the table runner in water and gently squeeze out any excess water. Lay the runner flat on a few towels using pins to hold it in place. Allow the table runner to dry completely.
