Freshen up your table with a modern crochet placemats pattern
If you love a well dressed table then you likely have an eye for placemats. Centerpieces, flatware, serve ware are all part of a well dressed table but placemats are the finishing touch. Plus they protect the table and minimize the sound of dishes and flatware.

Materials to make crochet placemats pattern
To make you will need a 5.5mm hook and two shades of natural fiber yarn. As with all kitchen related items, natural yarn fibers are important because they are heat resistant. Just a warm plate can cause acrylic yarn to melt and disfigure!
I used cotton mostly but for one of the designs (shown further down in this post) I used one tencel yarn, which is a yarn made from wood pulp like bamboo.
I used a silver sparkle cotton yarn in both red and white to give this red and white crochet placemat a festive Christmas look. Search for cotton sparkle yarn and you will find many brands offer it for a touch of festive glitz when you’re making garments and home projects.
This four row repeat can be worked even longer to create a beautiful table runner that fits your table perfectly.

Different crochet placemat colors to match your home decor
I also did a modern day to day version to match popular gray decor with either white or black accents. The accent yarn is a black and white twist tencel yarn paired with black cotton (it’s not hard to work with in this design. I know most of us dislike working with black yarn but it is a breeze in this pattern) and gives such a fresh look. I love how it turned out!
I used it in this crochet fish potholder pattern too!
