"This color block crochet table runner is a quick make. If you can crochet the chain stitch and single crochet, this modern pattern is one to add to your to-do list.There are a variety of ways that color can be used to decorate your home. When you accent pieces are handmade, even better. This is a wonderful way to use yarn scraps. I just love the look of this stitch.
