Crochet Pattern for a Tapestry Cactus Table Runner

This is a tapestry crochet pattern for a cute decorative cactus table runner. The table runner can be made with either cotton or acrylic yarn.

The pattern is worked using the tapestry crochet technique. Basic knowledge of tapestry crochet is recommended, as the technique is only briefly explained in the pattern. The design can be crocheted either with the standard flat tapestry crochet method or with reverse rows to create a cleaner image and smoother edges.

For additional help, I have included a link to an Instagram reel in the pattern, where I briefly demonstrate and explain the technique.

To make the pattern more organized and easier to follow, I structured the row instructions like a written color chart. This means that each row is divided into color blocks showing which color to use and how many stitches to crochet with that color.

You can also find an example photo in the product images that shows how the pattern is structured.

Alternatively, the pattern can also be worked directly from the chart if you already have basic knowledge of tapestry crochet and know how to read this type of graph, as this is not explained in detail in the pattern.

The chart is included both at the end of the PDF pattern and as a separate PDF file for easier printing.

Basic knowledge of tapestry crochet is recommended, as the technique itself is not explained in detail.
