About This Blue and White Snowflake Christmas Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern
This Christmas table runner is made from separate snowflake motifs that you sew together in a long line. Six large white snowflakes form the center, eight small ice blue snowflakes fill the sides, and five navy discs with silver bead centers sit where the big snowflakes meet.
It measures about 13 inches wide and 40 inches long. You only need chain, slip stitch, single, half double and double crochet, plus a little sewing. It suits anyone who has made a few motifs and wants a bigger holiday project.
Why You'll Love This Blue and White Snowflake Christmas Table Runner Crochet Pattern Pattern
I love how the white snowflakes stand out against the blue. Once it is blocked, every spike lies sharp and flat, and the silver beads catch the candlelight.
I also like that the runner grows one motif at a time. You can pick it up for an evening, finish one snowflake, and put it down feeling proud.
Switch Things Up
Try red and white for a classic Christmas look, or swap the navy discs for gold ones. Use all white with pearl beads for a wedding or winter table. For a shorter runner, make only four large snowflakes and six small ones.

Assembly Instructions
- Weave in all ends, then block every motif flat. Pin out each spike and petal on a blocking mat, spray with water or fabric stiffener, and let them dry completely.
- Lay the 6 large snowflakes in a straight line with the tips of opposite spikes touching, and pin them together.
- Sew the touching spike tips with the yarn needle and white yarn, using small stitches so the joins lie flat.
- Place the 8 small ice blue snowflakes along both sides, 4 on the left and 4 on the right, tucking each into the gap between two large snowflake spikes, and sew the touching tips.
- Sew the 5 navy discs over the joins where the large snowflakes meet, using the long tails.
- Check that every motif is joined and that the runner lies flat on the table before adding the beads.
- Sew a silver bead to the center of every snowflake and every disc with the beading needle and strong thread.
- Give the finished runner a light steam on a flat surface and let it dry before putting it on the table.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
Making the ch-5 loops in Round 2 of the large snowflake too tight pulls the petals out of shape; keep the loops relaxed.
Skipping blocking leaves the spikes curled and the runner will not lie flat, so pin and dry every motif before sewing.
Sewing the beads on before blocking can snag your thread on the pins; add all beads at the end.
Joining the snowflakes at different spike tips makes the runner wavy; sew opposite spikes along the same line each time.

Important Notes
Gauge does not need to be exact, but bigger or smaller motifs change the runner length, so measure one large snowflake before you make all six.
Mercerized cotton gives crisp stitches and holds the spikes well after blocking.
Wash by hand in cool water, press out the water in a towel and dry flat, reshaping the spikes with your fingers.
Keep lit candles away from the runner and never leave a flame near the yarn.
I hope this runner brings a calm, frosty feeling to your Christmas table. Take your time with each snowflake, and happy hooking!
Crochet Abbreviations
You Ask, We Answer
How big is the finished runner?
About 13 inches wide and 40 inches long, and you can add or remove snowflakes to fit your table.
Can I use a different yarn weight?
Yes. Worsted weight with a 4 mm hook makes bigger motifs and a longer runner, so you will need more yarn.
How do I wash the runner?
Wash by hand in cool water, press out the water with a towel and lay it flat to dry. Re-pin the spikes if they need reshaping.
Success!
