Easy Linen Stitch Placemat

• Yarn: BerrocoRemix 1 skein in color #3927 Old Jeans. Alternate: Berroco Pima 100

• Gauge:23 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in Linen st using US #7 (4.5 mm) needles blocked.
• Needles:US 7 (4.5 mm) 24” circular needles.
• Notions: Stitch markers andtapestry needle to weave in ends.
• Finished size: 12” X 17” blocked. You can also increase or decrease the st count by multiples of 2.

This pattern was designed to create a knitted fabric that lays flat and does not curl on the edges. I have created a 2 st edge on each side of your placemat for a more refined look.

You can knit your placemat in an evening or two while you watch a movie or visit with friends. They are completely reversible and will add a little “flair” as well as protect your table!

You can vary this pattern by adding more than 1 color. Just knit the 2 row repeat in one color and then pick up the next color and knit the 2 row repeat once more. Continue knitting in this manner for a 2 color variation.
