A super quick make for your home!
The Iris Placemat is a simple, yet modern addition to your dining table!
The pattern is simple enough for advanced beginners as the easy, repetitive rows are perfect for mindless crocheting.
It works up quick using the suggested yarn but you can use any color you desire, the possibilites are endless!

Additional notes:
- If a row/round starts with a CH 1, CH 2 or CH 3, that is not counted as a stitch, unless stated otherwise.
- US terms used throughout.
- At the end of every row, there’s going to be a note with the stitch count, so you can keep track of your work easily and avoid any mistakes. It’s written in a different color in bold. For the border round, I included a stitch count per short/long side (excluding corner stitches) and per corner too, in case you prefer it that way.
- Notes are written in a different color in (brackets) to help you through the pattern or tell you which stitches to work into or skip.
- You can start each row as I did in the pattern or you can use a standing stitch or chains, it’s totally up to you!
- You can easily adjust the width of your placemat: the starting chain should be multiples of 3+5 chains.
