How To Crochet The Crochet Placemat
The crochet placemat pattern is made crocheting back and forth in rows using the back loop single crochet and front loop single crochet as the textured single crochet stitch.
These are great variation of basic stitches to give the crocheted fabric more texture.
After you have crocheted a rectangle, work a round of crochet crab stitches to create a lovely crocheted border in a contrasting color.
Yarn For The Crocheted Placemats
To crochet placemats the suggested type of yarn is cotton yarn.
Use either dk weight yarn or worsted weight yarn for the best result.
You can also use acrylic yarn, which can be easier to wash.
Pick your favorite base color and consider bright colors for your border.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.
