Textured Crochet Placemat: Cobblestone Creek Placemat

I like making items for my home that can be used every day – not just for special occasions. That means I’m always looking for stitches and stitch combinations that are both practical and pretty!

The Cobblestone Creek Placemat was inspired by the Cobblestone Creek Dishcloth. I loved the solid, textured fabric created by using 2 single crochet stitches worked together, and I knew that it would look great on the dinner table as a placemat.

The Yarn

I Love This Cotton is my go-to cotton yarn. It’s soft enough to be nice to work with, but is still durable enough to make great items for the kitchen that can be used and washed. They also have a great line of colors, which makes it easy to find something that coordinates with your current home decor and perfect for a seasonal pop of color!

I chose the Serene Spa colorway for this project because it had a Spring feel, but this placemat would look great in any color that looks best in your home.
