Pattern Description:

Make these versatile placemats in any color to match your decor. They can be used as individual placemats or as a table runner for a centerpiece. The placemats were created using two strands of crochet cotton, size 10, held together and alternating a light and dark tone with an accent of coordinating metallic thread. This is not as complicated as it looks! A design graph is included for reference. Detailed embroidery instructions for the vertical design and snowflake are also included.
