Bulky Rustic Placemat Materials

Hook:
9mm Size N hook
Yarn:
106 yards of weight 6 super bulky yarn (recommended Wool Ease Thick and Quick)
Other:
4 20mm wood beads (optional)
Tapestry needle
Scissors 

Stitch Key (US Terms)

• Chain (CH)
• Single Crochet (SC) 
• Double Crochet (DC)
• Half Double Crochet (HDC)

Special Stitches:

V-stitch (V-Stitch)= DC in a stitch, CH 1, DC in the same stitch

Gauge

2” by 2” = 4 SC across, 3 SC rows

Finished Measurements:

11.5” by 16”

Notes:

This pattern requires loose tension so that the placemat will lay flat. If the edges of your placemat curl up, it is probably a good indication that your stitches are too tight. 

The CH 1 at the beginning of each row does not count as a stitch, and is used to key the edges of the placemat straight. When working in a V-Stitch from a previous row, crochet into the CH 1, instead of the space between the two DC. 

Optional: Add wood beads to each corner to add a boho element to the placemat.

The border will be worked across the top and bottom of the placemat.

Lay your place mat flat. 

In the top right corner slip stitch into the last row of the placemat. CH 1. Half double crochet (HDC) in the top of the stitches across the top. There should be 28-29 HDC when spread equally. Cut off a 6” tail and weave in.
