Materials Needed for Ivory Burgundy Floral Mandala Table Runner Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Attach motifs using join-as-you-go on the final scallop round: when making scallops on a new motif, align corresponding scallop tops of the already-made motif and work sc or sl st through both the new motif's scallop and the previous motif's scallop top. Join at three points (center and two side points) for each pairing for stability.
• Pin motifs in a straight line on a blocking board before joining. Use the pins to check spacing and alignment across the runner length so edges remain straight.
• Weave in ends on the underside: after joining, thread the long tails under the lace rounds and weave them through several stitches before trimming; this keeps the top side clean.
• If you prefer, after join-as-you-go, sew each join with matching yarn and a yarn needle using a mattress or whip stitch for extra stability, especially if the runner will be used under heavy objects.
• Work the final continuous edging once all motifs are joined and the runner is laying flat. This ties color and hides any small imperfections in joins.
• Block each motif individually before final joining if you notice inconsistencies in size. Pin to shape and allow to dry for consistent motif diameter and neat joins.
• If you want to hang the runner or add non-slip backing, stitch a lightweight fabric strip to the underside in the center strip area to stabilize placement on a surface.
• Press gently with steam (not direct iron contact) to set scallops and lace into shape; use a damp cloth barrier if ironing lightly.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers at the first stitch of each round to keep track of rounds and maintain correct stitch counts
• 💡Stuffing is not used for this flat project; keep stitches even and avoid pulling too tightly to preserve open lace
• 💡When changing colors, finish the last stitch of the round before switching to secure color transitions neatly
• 💡Blocking dramatically improves the look of lace and scallops; block motifs to consistent diameter before joining for best results
• 💡If you find motif diameters vary, adjust tension or hook size before making more motifs rather than altering joins later
• 💡Weave ends on the underside and avoid tying visible knots on the top; a tidy backside keeps the runner professional-looking
• 💡Work join-as-you-go loops on the same stitch positions around each motif to keep joins even
• 💡Test with a single motif first to confirm your color changes and puff tension before committing to all six motifs
