Crossed Stitch Placemat

October 28, 2021

The Crossed Stitch Placemat will add the warmth of handmade table decor to all the upcoming holiday dinners. It is quick and easy, and you will learn or practice a special stitch called crossed half double crochet. In addition to giving the nice texture to the pattern, it’s also very enjoyable stitch to work with, so you’ll find yourself keep crocheting more placemats.

Using the same stitch it’s easy to crochet the square dishcloth. See the instructions for dishcloth right below the placemat pattern.
