Blossom Stitch Crochet Lace Placemat Pattern

This crochet lace placemat pattern is worked up in the blossom stitch to give you a nice simple lace throughout. It’s an open stitch, but still solid enough to give your table the protection it needs against plates and other dinnerware. If you need more protection, you can crochet up a solid layer to go behind this, or you can use fabric to sew a liner for the back.

The crochet placemat pattern is great for any kind of table, whether round, square or oval. And it’s great for everyday use or special occasions!

I like the potpourri ombre yarn that I used here. It matches my table perfectly, but any solid color or other ombres would look nice too.

What is the Best Yarn for a Crocheted Placemat

A worsted weight cotton yarn is the best choice for crocheted placemats for several reasons.

• The yarn is made of cotton, so you know it is more heat-resistant than many other yarns on the market.
• The yarn is also absorbent, making it great for spills as well.
• Cotton yarn is strong and durable.

I always recommend a cotton yarn for a placemat because it is heat-resistant. For this pattern, I used Lily Sugar ‘N’ Cream. The worsted-weight cotton material works well with a 5 mm crochet hook. Another similar yarn that would work well with this is Bernat Handicrafter Cotton.

The blossom stitch pattern is worked with basic crochet stitches such as the chains, single crochet and double crochet stitches.

The rows are alternated between the double crochet v-stitch and the single crochet in one row, followed by the double crochet and chain one and the single crochet and chain one in the next row.

It is very simple and mindless, but the final result is nice enough for any occasion.
