Weaving

Once you are done with crocheting the runner, you will begin to weave yarn through the ch1 spaces, lengthwise, to create the plaid pattern.

I made each strand 4 pieces of yarn thick and about 62″ inches long for this particular length. Please note that if you choose to make your runner longer or wider than I did, you will need to adjust the length of each piece you are weaving and you will also need to adjust how many sections you are weaving across.

For example, the pattern for the woven pieces I used was:

B, C, C, C, C, C, B, A, A, A, A, A, B, C, C, C, C, C, B, A, A, A, A, A, B.

To begin weaving, cut a length of yarn 4 strands thick about 62 inches long. Start weaving from one end of your runner while it is vertical, leaving about a 4-5″ tail for the fringe, starting at the first ch space. You will be going over the first ch row, under, over under the ch 1s into the ch spaces all the way to end of the runner, also leaving about a 4-5″ tail.

The next row will start under the first ch row, over, under, over until the end, also leaving your tails at each end.

Continue alternating between starting over and starting under your first ch row, alternating colors as stated above.

In the photo below, I am going over the first.

Fringe

Once you are done weaving the runner, you will be left with some uneven tails on either end.

I chose to knot the tails to keep them secure.

I used the first cluster of 4 strands from the first color, 2 strands from the second color and did a knot pulled up to the edge of the runner. For the rest of the colors, I used two strands from each cluster and knotted them together. For the last cluster, you will use two strands from the previous cluster and the four strands from the last cluster.

After you do all your knots, you will measure and trim your fringe evenly. I did about 3″.
