You can never have too many crochet placemats

Many shop-bought placemats come in packs of four, but the beauty of making your own is that you can make as many as you need.

As they’re made out of 100% cotton, once they get dirty you can just put them in the wash – so make twice as many as you need and you’ll always have some stunning crochet on your table!
