ARCO crochet Table Rail, complete step by step

Certainly! Here's a step-by-step guide to crochet an arched table rail:

Materials:

Worsted weight yarn in your choice of color

Crochet hook suitable for the yarn weight

Scissors

Yarn needle

Instructions: Note: This pattern is written in US crochet terminology.

Step 1: Start by making a slip knot with your yarn and secure it on your crochet hook.

Step 2: Chain a multiple of 6 stitches plus 3 additional stitches to achieve the desired width of your table rail. For example, you can start with a chain of 57 stitches for a width of approximately 10 inches.

Step 3: Row 1: In the 4th chain from the hook, work 1 double crochet. Work 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Chain 3, skip the next 3 stitches, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 3 stitches. Repeat from * to * across the row until you have 4 stitches remaining. Work 1 double crochet in each of the last 4 stitches. Turn.

Step 4: Row 2: Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet), work 3 double crochets in the first stitch. Chain 3, skip the next 3 double crochets, work 4 double crochets in the next chain-3 space. Repeat from * to * across the row until you have 1 stitch remaining. Work 1 double crochet in the last stitch. Turn.

Step 5: Repeat Row 2 until your table rail reaches the desired length. You can continue with the same color throughout or change colors as desired to create a striped effect.

Step 6: Fasten off and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Step 7: Once you've completed your desired length, you can sew or attach the table rail to the edge of your tablecloth or runner using a yarn needle and yarn that matches the table rail. Make sure to evenly distribute the table rail along the edge, creating a pleasing arch.

Congratulations! You've completed your crocheted arched table rail. It adds a beautiful decorative touch to your table setting. Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors and embellishments to make it even more eye-catching. Enjoy your crocheting!
