Leaf Pattern
Foundation
- Ch 14.
Row 1
- Sc in 2nd ch from hook.
- Hdc in next 2 sts.
- Dc in next 4 sts.
- Tr in next 4 sts.
- 5 dc in last chain.
- Continue working on opposite side:
- Tr in next 4.
- Dc in next 4.
- Hdc in next 2.
- Sc in last.
- Sl st.
Row 2
- Ch 1.
- Sc around.
- Place (sc, ch 2, sc) at leaf tip.
- Continue evenly around.
- Sl st.
Serrated Edge
Work around the leaf:
- (sc, ch 3, sl st in 2nd ch, sc in next stitch)
Repeat around every edge to create pointed teeth.
At the tip:
- (sc, ch 4, sl st back, sc)
Repeat on both sides.
Leaf Vein
Join yarn at base.
- Ch to tip using sl sts.
- Add diagonal veins:
- Ch 4–6.
- Sl st back into center vein.
- Repeat every 2–3 stitches on alternating sides.
This creates the realistic vein texture.
Vine
Using brown yarn:
- Ch 180–300 depending on desired length.
- Every 10–14 chains:
- Ch 6.
- Attach a leaf.
- Continue adding branches:
- Ch 12–18.
- Attach another leaf.
- Make irregular branches to imitate natural vines.
Assembly
- Crochet 60–80 leaves in assorted autumn colors:
- Cream
- Rust
- Burgundy
- Chocolate Brown
- Camel
- Mustard
- Golden Ochre
Arrange leaves naturally with alternating directions.
Attach each leaf securely using slip stitches or sewing yarn ends into the vine.
Border (Optional)
Work one round of:
- Sc evenly around each leaf.
- Sl st in every stitch for a crisp finish.
Finishing
- Weave in all ends.
- Steam block lightly.
- Shape every leaf tip by hand.
- Arrange the branches before final blocking for a flowing woodland appearance.
The finished table runner will have a cascading vine design with richly textured serrated leaves, closely resembling the one shown in your image. I can also create a stitch diagram or a printable crochet chart for this pattern.
