For a 4-square-by-2-square runner, you&#8217;ll need <strong>8 squares<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For each square, follow these steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round 1 (Magic Ring or Chain Start)<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Magic Ring<\/strong>: Create a Magic Ring. <strong>Ch 3<\/strong> (counts as first dc), work <strong>2 dc<\/strong>, <strong>ch 2<\/strong>, *<code>3 dc<\/code>, <code>ch 2<\/code>*, repeat from * to * two more times.

Thread your yarn needle with your joining color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lay two squares next to each other, with the wrong sides facing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert your needle into the corner stitch of both squares and begin a <strong>whip stitch<\/strong>, sewing through both loops of each corresponding stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue sewing down the side until you reach the next corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repeat<\/strong> this process to join all of your squares together.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberpunk2077.cam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/crochettech.com-10-1-838x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1481\" style=\"width:960px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-3-adding-the-border\">Part 3: Adding the Border<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful border gives your table runner a polished, finished look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set Up the First Border Round<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With your chosen border color, join your yarn with a slip stitch to any stitch on the edge of the runner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 1<\/strong>. Work <strong>1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> into each stitch around the entire perimeter of the runner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you reach a corner, work <strong>3 sc<\/strong> into the corner space to turn smoothly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you reach a seam where two squares are joined, work a <code>sc<\/code> into the corner space of the first square, then a <code>sc<\/code> into the corner space of the next square.

Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into the first stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 3<\/strong>. Skip the next stitch. Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into the next stitch. This creates a small loop.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>*<code>ch 3<\/code>, skip the next stitch, work <code>1 sc<\/code> into the next stitch.*<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat from * to * around the entire perimeter.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a <strong>sl st<\/strong> to the first sc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final Touches<\/strong>:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fasten off<\/strong> and weave in all remaining tails securely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocking (Optional but Recommended)<\/strong>: Gently mist the runner with water and pin it to a foam mat, ensuring it is a perfect rectangle with all the edges straight. Allow it to air dry completely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!
