Tip:

Choose a yarn that is both durable and easy to wash for practical, long-lasting placemats.

Materials Needed:

• 100% Cotton yarn, size 4
• 3.5 mm crochet hook
• Yarning needle
• Scissors

Pattern Instructions:

Starting the Circle:

Begin with a magic circle:

• Make a loop with a long tail, twist to create a smaller loop, and hold it in place.
• Insert the hook into the loop, pull the yarn through, and chain one to close the circle.

Row 1:

Start with a single crochet into the magic circle.

• Chain one (this combination counts as your first half double crochet).
• Make nine more half double crochets into the circle (total of 10 stitches including the initial single crochet and chain one).
• Pull the tail to close the circle.
• Slip stitch into the second stitch of the row (the first actual half double crochet) to join.

Expanding the Circle:

Row 2:

• Move the stitch to the back (described in the video but unclear; follow for consistency).
• Start from the same stitch with a single crochet and chain one.
• In each stitch around, make two half double crochets (increases in each stitch, resulting in 20 stitches total).
• Complete the row with a slip stitch into the first half double crochet made in this row.

Row 3 and Beyond:

Continue increasing rows by starting the same way (single crochet, chain one in the first stitch).

• Increase the number of half double crochets between each set of increases:
• Row 3: 1 half double crochet, 1 increase repeat.
• Row 4: 2 half double crochets, 1 increase repeat.
• Continue this pattern, adding one more half double crochet between each increase for every subsequent row until the desired size.

Final Rows and Border:

Final Row of Main Circle:

• Continue as described until you reach the desired size for your placemat.

Switching Colors for Border (if desired):

• Attach a new color yarn with a slip knot.
• Begin by chaining one, then make single crochet stitches around, increasing where necessary to keep the work flat.

Creating the Border:

• Start with a chain one and a single crochet.
• Chain two, skip two stitches, make four double crochets; repeat from to around.
• Finish with a slip stitch into the first single crochet of the row.

Finishing the Project:

• Cut and fasten off the yarn.
• Weave in all ends using the yarning needle.
• Optional: Block the placemat to improve shape and size using a mat, pins, and a steamer.
