CROCHET PLACEMATS & NAPKIN RINGS

These placemats are simple to make and simple to care for!  Made of 100% cotton, they can be washed and dried on the delicate cycle.  Why not treat yourself to a matching set or make it as a gift for someone you love?

Supplies Needed for Placemats:

• 100% Cotton Yarn in the color(s) of your choice (quantity needed depends upon # of placemats) but one 14 oz skein of Lily Sugar'n Cream makes about 3 placemats.
• Size 7 crochet hook (4.5 mm)
• Scissors
• Yarn Needle

Make the Placemats:
​Chain 46
Row 1: single crochet in 2nd stitch from end and then in each chain accross (45 total).
Row 2: chain 3 and turn work.  [This is the Crossed Double Crochet shown in the video below] Double crochet in second stitch from end. Double crochet backwards into the stitch you skipped. Repeat the cross crochet to end of row and double crochet in final stitch.  
Row 3: chain 1 and turn.  Single crochet in each stitch accross (45 total).
Rows 4 - 41: Repeat the row 2/3 pattern nineteen (19) more times.   Do NOT finish yet - continue on with the pattern for Border A or B (note that B is the same as A without the final row), or if you prefer, don't add any border at all!

Choose A Border:
If you want to add a border, note that Border B is the same as border A without the 3rd row!

Border A

Border B

Border A:
Row 1: single crochet accross the side, do 3 single crochet in the corner, single crochet accross bottom, 3 sc in corner, sc across other side, 3 sc in corner, sc accross top, slip stitch connect and chain 1 in corner.  
Row 2: single crochet in corner, chain 4, skip two stitches and sc into third.  Continue pattern all the way around.  Be sure to single crochet into the middle stitch at each corner. Slip stitch to connect when done.
Row 3: single crochet into corner, chain 3, sc into loop of 4 stitches, chain 3 single crochet into next loop, and continue pattern to corner, sc into middle corner stitch, chain three and repeat pattern all the way around.  Slip stitch to finish.

Border B:
Do Row 1 in the same color as the placemat as per instructions for Border A.
Row 2: change color and follow same instructions as for Border A but end after row 2 (so skip row 3). Slip stitch to finish off and weave all loose ends.

Mix'n Match!
