About This Coral Blossom Lace Table Runner — Free Crochet Pattern
Soft, warm, and quietly pretty, this Coral Blossom Lace Table Runner is a chain of delicate cream spiderweb-lace doilies, each topped with a raised 3D coral-pink blossom, a golden centre, small green leaves, and tiny buds. The dusty coral against airy cream lace feels vintage and fresh at once — perfect for spring, summer, or a sunny kitchen all year round.
Each lace doily is a satisfying evening’s work, and the five-petal coral blossoms are a simple, rewarding motif that sits up beautifully off the lace. Make the doilies, join them in a gentle chain, and sew a blossom and leaves onto each one.
Starting rounds — magic ring and first increases
Why You'll Love This Pattern 💛
The dusty coral and cream is a soft, timeless palette that suits almost any room and any season. Each spiderweb doily is quick, portable, and satisfying — you always have a finishable goal in your bag. The simple five-petal blossom sits up proud off the lace and works beautifully as a standalone appliqué too.
Shaping with increases — building the body
Switch Things Up 🎨
Swap coral for soft blue, lavender, or buttercup for a different garden-fresh mood. Add a blossom to every doily, or leave some plain lace for a calmer, airier look. Use a single doily with one blossom as a sweet coaster or candle mat.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them 🔧
Keep to the given stitch counts in each round and block firmly — spiderweb lace is designed to be opened up with blocking.
Work it a touch firmer than the lace and sew only through the centre so the petals lift; a light steam helps them stand.
Overlap them slightly and join along two or three touching scallops rather than a single point.
Do not pull the ch-3 picots tight; they should sit lightly on the scalloped edge.

Assembly & Finishing Tips
💡 Weaving in ends
Use a tapestry needle to weave each tail back and forth through at least 5–6 stitches in different directions. A tiny dot of washable glue on the final stitch before trimming adds extra security for toys used by children.
💡 Sewing pieces together
Pin each piece firmly to the body before sewing. Use mattress stitch for the most invisible join — insert the needle under the same yarn bar on alternating pieces and pull firmly. Knot securely at start and end, weave both tails deep into the body.
💡 Positioning safety eyes
Take time here — eye spacing determines the character's entire personality. Closer eyes look more intense; further apart looks more friendly and playful. Pin both positions and step back before snapping the backs on permanently. Once snapped, eyes cannot be moved without damaging the fabric.
💡 Blocking
Not required for amigurumi, but lightly steam-blocking any warped pieces will relax the fibres. Hold a steam iron a few centimetres away — never let it touch the stuffing or safety eyes directly.
💡 Care instructions
Handwash in cool water with mild detergent, press gently to remove excess water, lay flat to dry. Many acrylic yarns are machine washable on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag — always check your yarn label.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Use stitch markers at the start of every round — don't rely on memory to count.
- Work with consistent tension throughout. Gauge swatch before starting if in doubt.
- Fasten off leaving long tails for sewing — at least 30cm for each piece you'll need to attach.
- Pin and check positioning of all pieces before sewing any of them permanently.
Beginner's Guide to Amigurumi 🌱
Amigurumi (Japanese: ami = knitted/crocheted + nuigurumi = stuffed toy) is the craft of making small crocheted characters. You start with a magic ring, work in continuous spiral rounds of single crochet, and shape the piece through increases and decreases — no seams, no joins, no turning.
The magic ring creates a closable centre with no hole. Wrap yarn around two fingers, insert the hook, yarn over and pull through. Work your first round into this ring, then pull the tail to close tight. Practise a few times — it becomes effortless quickly.
The invisible decrease — insert your hook through the front loop only of the first stitch, then the front loop only of the second stitch. Yarn over, pull through both loops, then yarn over again and pull through the remaining two. Working through front loops only makes the decrease blend into the fabric instead of leaving a bump.
Tension matters most. Amigurumi needs tight, firm tension so stuffing can't show through. If you can see white fiberfill peeking between your stitches, go down one hook size. The fabric should feel dense and firm — like a tightly woven canvas, not a loose net.

You Ask, We Answer ❓
Completely and permanently free — read it online, print it, or save it to your phone. No login, no email, no payment. Please just do not copy or republish the written pattern itself.
Yes — you are welcome to sell finished handmade pieces you crochet from this pattern. Please credit Cozy Amigurumi as the pattern source when you share them online.
Please do — blocking is the single biggest difference between a piece that looks homemade and one that looks like an heirloom. Wet or steam block, pin to shape, and let it dry completely.
You can, but cotton blocks crisper and shows the lace detail far better. If you use acrylic, choose a firm one and steam block gently rather than wet block.
This pattern repeats in simple units, so just add or remove motifs/blocks until it fits your table. Keep the count even for a symmetrical look.
