Patriotic Crochet Place Setting

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!
