Connecting Motifs
Connect Motifs any way you choose in given Diamond Checkered pattern.
How I Connected my Runner:
Row 1:(Motif A)1 blue and (Motif B)1 tan square
Connect by placing right sides tog and connect tan thread to right corner of Motif A, CH 3, SC in right corner of motif B then do the following:
*Motif A: CH 3, Sk 1 sp, 1 SC
Motif B: Ch 3, Sk 1 sp, 1 SC,
Rep from * until end is reached, make sure to SC in each ending corner.
Rep this row 1 more time for each end of runner.
Row 2: (Motif A)1 tan,(Motif B) 1 blue,(Motif C) 1 tan.
Connect by attatching thread to right corner of Motif A: Ch 3, and SC in right corner of Motif B. then do the following:
*Motif A: CH 3, sk 1 sp, 1 SC,
Motif B: Ch 3, SK 1 sp, 1 SC,
Rep from * until end is reached, make sure to SC in each ending corner.
Put Motif B and C together with right sides together. Attach thread to right corner of Motif C, CH 3 and SC in right corner of Motif B, then do the following
*Motif C: Ch 3, Sk 1 sp, 1 SC,
Motif B: Ch 3, SK 1 sp, 1 SC,
Rep from * until end is reached, make sure to SC in each ending corner.
Rep this Row 4 more times, this is the middle part of runner.
Join the rows in like manner as shown in the given picture.
After all the motifs are join together
Rnd 1: SC around the runner in like colors. Make sure to SC 3 times in one sp for the corner sps and connect the tan motifs by the corners also.
Rnd 2: In like colors round the runner: *1 SC, Sk 1 sp, 3 Dc in next sp, Sk 1 sp, rep from * around the entire runner. Sl to 1st SC made, tie off and hide string.
