Crochet Placemat



     Here is a very simple project that can be completed almost anywhere. I made a set of these Placemats for my mom, and she loves them. As you can see from some of the stains, they have been used for quite a while now; but still work just as well as the day I made them!



Supplies:
     worsted weight yarn in your desired color choice
     9.00 mm crochet hook
     sewing tape measure
     scissors

Abbreviations Used:
     ch --- chain
     hdc --- half-double crochet
     st/sts --- stitch/stitches
     slp st --- slip stitch

Notes:
     --- For my project, I used Gold Red Heart Super Saver Yarn.
     --- These Placemats would great if you were to use a multi-color yarn; plus it would save you the hassel of having to change colors while yoiu worked.




~Pattern~

     ch 35; ch 2, turn
     Row 1: 1hdc in each ch across - 35sts
     Rows 2-end: ch 2, turn; 1hdc in each st across - 35sts
     * The number of Rows required will depend on how tightly you stitch.
     * Continue working in back and forth until the piece measures 18-inches long.
     Final Row: ch 1, turn;  1 slp st in each st across - 35 slp sts
     Fasten off; tie off and trim all loose threads.

Super Simple Little Flower



  
     This flower is very easy to make. I use it to decorate almost everything: hats, purses, blankets, scarves . . . anything you could possibly think of!




Supplies:
     9.00 mm crochet hook
     worsted weight yarn in your desired color choice
     stitch marker
     scissors

Abbreviations Used:
     Rnd --- round
     ch --- chain
     sc --- single-crochet
     trc --- triple-crochet
     slp st --- slip stitch

Notes:
     --- The same flower can be made in two smaller versions, just by changing what hook size you use. I like to use 5.00 mm for a medium flower; and the 3.75 mm for a small flower.
     --- The three different sizes stack up very nicely to create a lovely layered Flower.
