Crochet the perfect Spring and Summer set for your dining table with the Ava placemat and coaster. These perfectly match the Ava Table runner. Can you believe that it has been just over a year since I officially released the Ava Table Runner? The Collection …
Looking to winter and Christmas this year has been all about the men for me, which is what got me thinking about the stag placemat. Note: this post may contain affiliate links. Stags are universal – men, women and children like stags and your colour …
The Halloween Pumpkin Placemat is actually one that I designed well over a year ago. Tested last year, I felt we were cutting it a little fine to release for Halloween. So I waited until this year.
And the timing worked out perfectly! I get to release this pattern as part of a mini Halloween CAL event hosted by CAL Central.
If you would like to be kept up to date with all of the events and CALs we are involved in you can join either of our mailing lists. The general one is our weekly newsletter. Usually this is sent on a Wednesday which our official release day for patterns, video tutorials etc. However, occasionally we may do a quick second email if we are in an event with a new pattern that I think you guys would love to know about!
There is also our Events and CALs email. This one is sent whenever there is an event or CAL going on to let you know what is happening or what patterns are available for you that day.
If you sign up to both you will never miss a thing!

The Pumpkin Placemat Pattern:
Pattern notes:
Written in US terms
Chain 1 does not count as a stitch.
There are no special stitches used in this pattern.
This is a side to side graph and is worked right to left on the right side (odd numbered rows) and left to right on the wrong side (even numbered rows) and from the bottom to the top. The arrows at the beginning of the row indicate which way you are working that row . It is a reversible pattern so remember to crochet over any yarn you carry!
However, to work out how much yarn you will need you will need to do a sample swatch and then measure how much yarn you used per stitch multiplying that by the number of stitches of that color and adding some for the tails to be worked in at the end.
