Fall Themed Crochet Placemat
Happy Fall Y’all! When I set out to design this pattern, I intended for it to be a throw pillow cover. After making it in single crochet (scroll down for pic) I decided that it was too small and redid it using half double crochet. I think it looks much better. I was also happy to find out that it ended up being the perfect size for a placemat. So, I decided to go with it and I designed a matching coaster. You could still use this pattern as a pillow cover though! Just crochet a back of the same size, sew three sides together and insert a pillow insert like this one. Sew up the final side and you’re done!

Pattern Notes
- When you are changing colors, use the new color to do the final pull through of the stitch that is the old color.
- Pattern is worked back and forth in rows from the bottom up.
- You can print and follow the pixel graph or follow the written instructions.
- Chain 2 at the beginning of each row.
- The letters (w, o, g) and numbers tell you how many and what color of half double crochet (hdc) to make. For example: w16, g, w53 would be 16 white hdc, 1 green hdc, 53 white hdc
