How to Crochet Your Own Placemats for a Beautiful Dinner Table
Placemats are a great way to practice your crochet skills and give your table a special touch. I designed these classic placemats as a Christmas gift and fell in love with how quickly they worked up! I used one of my favorite eco-friendly yarns, Re-tweed by Lion Brand. The shade of green is perfect for Winter. This pattern would work well with multiple colors as well. I have a video tutorial on Pinterest for this project as well as a written pattern below. Enjoy!
