How to Make a Crocheted Runner
A crochet runner can be created by a new student of crochet. It requires only the basics, such as making a chain and using the single crochet stitch throughout. Use any size crochet hook you prefer, the larger the hook the lacier the stitch. So, if you prefer a tight stitch use a size F hook and if you prefer a looser stitch, choose a size H or I hook. Crocheting a runner is much like making a large crocheted winter scarf. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Use any yarn you prefer. Be aware that a thicker yarn will make the stitches closer together, while a thinner yarn will create a lacier appearance.
