I love to make things for the seasons and decided to make a simple placemat and coaster.
All my crochet terms are US terms.
I had some cotton yarn I wanted to use up and the spring like colours were perfect for this project. I is a simple single crochet pattern, nothing fancy. I created a chain to the size I wanted for the placemat and started 2 chains in and worked a single crochet stitch into each chain. Chain 1 and single crochet across. Repeat until the placemat is the size you want. I added a picot border. This is easy to do.
This adds a nice border that lifts the simple single crochet to make it look fancy.
The Coaster was made in the same way but smaller.
This would make a quick item for a gift and can be made in a variety of colours.
