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 dinner ware. 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.

The Stitch Pattern

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.

The Finished Size

The finished size after blocking is 18 inches by 13 inches. The size is super easy to adjust to anything bigger or smaller as you need in a multiple of four for the starting chains.

Recommended Yarn

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