Fourth of July is fast approaching so why not celebrate your love for our country by setting your table with this simple crochet patriotic place setting?

​This setting was a promise made to my cousin Peggy during last years annual Family Fourth of July Barbecue up at my parents place on Schroon Lake in the Adirondacks. I made a promise I would make her a set, and I kept it! Oh yeah, they were exactly what she wanted and she loved them!


Supplies:
Makes 4 Placemats and 4 Napkin Rings
*Affiliate links
  • 114 oz skein of Loops & Threads 100% acrylic Snuggly Wuggly Big in white
  • 4.5 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors
  • *Patriotic Bandanas
Picture
Directions for Placemat:
  • Chain 55.
  • Row 1: sc into the second chain from hook and all the way across (54 total).
  • Row 2: hdc in first chain directly next to hook, skip one, then do one sc and one hdc in next. , skip 1, and sc and hdc in next, etc. Repeat that pattern across ending with one sc in the last stitch at the end of the row. 
  • Rows 3 - 55: chain 1 and turn, hdc into first stitch, skip 1, then sc and hdc in next stitch, skip 1, etc. At the end of the row you will end with one sc. Repeat the pattern for 53 more rows (total of 54 rows of alternating sc, dc).
  • Row 56: chain 1, turn and sc across. Begin border.​

Placemat Border:
  • With the yarn still attached, sc around the entire placement (so both ends will have 2 rows of sc, sides will have one). Be sure to do three sc in each corner. When you come to your original stitch, connect, and chain 1. 
  • Do the crab stitch, also called a reverse single crochet (see how-to video below), around the entire placemat (one crab per stitch), working to the right.
  • Finish off and weave all loose ends.

Directions for Napkin Rings (4):
  • Chain 25.
  • Row 1: sc in second chain from hook and all the way to end (total 24).
  • Row 2: Chain 1 and turn, hdc in first stitch, skip 1, sc and hdc in next, skip 1, etc. End with a sc.
  • Row 3: Chain 1 and turn. Do hdc, skip 1, sc and hdc, skip one and repeat the sc and hdc in every other stitch across. End with a sc in the last stitch.
  • Row 4: Chain 1 and turn, sc across to end. 
  • Row 5: Chain 1 and do crab stitch across working to the right. 
  • Finish off.
  • Connect to opposite side and crab stitch across - be sure you are working the same side as the other crab stitch. Finish off and leave a tail.

    Hi there! I'm Kathie, the author behind Creating A Simpler Life blog. I'm excited to share our longterm projects (and planning) toward building our future retirement homestead in the Adirondack Mountains of New York. In the meantime I will be sharing all the other little things we do that are part of creating our simpler life!
