How Much Worsted / Medium (#4) Yarn for a Moss / Linen Stitch Dining Table Runner?

If you are getting ready to crochet a Dining Table Runner worked in the Moss / Linen Stitch (referred to in UK crochet patterns as Granite Stitch) with Worsted / Medium (#4) yarn, calculating your total yardage before buying ensures all of your skeins come from the exact same dye lot.

For a standard Dining Table Runner measuring 14 inches wide by 72 inches long (36 cm × 183 cm), you will need approximately 862 yards (788 meters) of Worsted / Medium (#4) yarn. Based on a standard 220-yard ball, that equals 4 skeins or roughly 388 grams with a 10% safety buffer built in.

Why Moss / Linen Stitch Impacts Your Dining Table Runner Yardage

Every crochet stitch wraps yarn around the hook differently, which dramatically changes how much yarn a project consumes per square inch. The Moss / Linen Stitch has a tested yarn-consumption multiplier of 1.08x compared to standard flat single crochet.

In terms of drape and fabric feel, working the Moss / Linen Stitch produces a flat, woven-look reversible fabric made with sc and chain spaces. Because of this stitch density, your finished Dining Table Runner will weigh approximately 388 grams once completed.

When pairing this stitch with Worsted / Medium (#4) yarn, we recommend working your initial 4×4 inch gauge swatch using a 5.0mm (H-8) crochet hook. Popular commercial yarns in this exact weight class include Red Heart Super Saver, Caron Simply Soft, Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice, Lily Sugar’n Cream.

If your personal crochet tension tends to be loose, or if you plan to add a multi-row ribbed, scalloped, or pom-pom border around the perimeter of your Dining Table Runner, picking up one extra skein beyond the 4-skein estimate ensures you never run short on the final edging row.
