Lets Get Started:
YARN: Any DK Weight yarn about 175 - 200 yards.
I have used DK Viscose by YARNKART (blue) and DK Cotton by Magic Needles (Maroon) in the featured projects.
Please note: You can use any suitable and preferably Cotton/Cotton mix yarn for the project.
I'd love to know the various yarn you would use/recommend for this project, so please do leave a comment below:
I'd appreciate it ❤️
I have designed the placemat to suit my table and if you follow the instructions to the point, you would get approximately the same size. However, I have highlighted the instructions that can be repeated fewer/more times to vary the size to suit your need.
SIZE: The Basic Coaster (Featured Green) measure 12*14 inches. The size
Please note: The yarn and hook size, along with the crochet tension can make you projects size vary.
Stitches used: US crochet terms
ch - chain
sc – single crochet
dc – double crochet
ss - slip stitch
reverse sc - used for the final edging - the instructions with picture to follow is given as part of instructions.
PLEASE NOTE:
ch1 doesn't count as a stitch
ch3 counts as dc
Granny Rectangle can be made in multiple ways. The technique used in this pattern is one demonstrated by ‘Hooked by Robin’. The YouTube tutorial by her has been linked.
Peek-a-Boo is a technique of replacing strategic Granny stitches with a single dc and compensating for the missing stitches. This is a fun and easy way to add more character to a Granny Stitch project!
The open lattice of the Granny stitch is achieved by replacing 3dc of the Granny stitch by (ch1,dc,ch1)
Hence the calculations of chains in the corner spaces vary when we shift from open lattice to regular granny stitch.
Making the Granny Rectangle for the center:
Make a starting chain in multiples of 3. (For the featured project, I used a starting chain of 15)
Round 1 – is worked in 3 parts – A, B and C.
• Part A - Starting from the 6th chain, (3dc, skip 2 ch) * till the end of the starting chain.
o Ch 5 and ss into same chain where we made the last stitch.
• Part B – We work on the underside of Part A, making the stitches in the spaces where we skipped chains.
o Ch 2(doesn’t count as stitch), 3dc in each of the spaces, till the last skipped 2 ch space has been covered. We will now be at the beginning of PART A; where we have a ch 5 loop.
• Part C – Working in the 5 ch loop we have reached; we will now make the first 2 corners as follows:
o 3dc, ch 4, dc, ch 4, 3dc in the loop.
o Now 3dc in between each of the granny stitches made in Part A, till you reach the ch 5 loop made at the end of Part A.
o In this loop, we will now make the next two corners as follows: 3dc, ch 4, dc, ch 4, 3dc and ss into the top of ch 2 made at the beginning of Part B.
We now have the basic rectangle, that we will build on.
Continuing the motif – using Peek-a-Boo twist.
Round 2 (sc round):
Side 1 – Ch1, sc in the same stitch, sc in each stitch * till the next corner is reached.
CORNER 1 – in the ch 4 space of the corner, make (sc, ch2, 2sc)
Side 2 – sc next stitch.
CORNER 2 - in the ch 4 space of the corner, make (2sc, ch2, sc)
Side 3 – sc in each stitch* till the next corner is reached.
CORNER 3 – in the ch 4 space of the corner, make (sc, ch2, 2sc)
Side 4 - sc* in next stitch.
CORNER 4 - in the ch 4 space of the corner, make (2sc, ch2, sc)
Now we are back on Side 1 – work the remaining stitches – sc in each stitch* and SS to join to the first sc.
Round 3 (dc round): ss into the next stitch (This is so the dc made, lines up with the middle dc of the Granny stitches from the rectangular center). Work the stitches as follows:
Side 1 - Ch 3, 2dc in the same place, (skip next 2 sts, 3dc in the next) * till the next corner is reached.
CORNER 1 – skip 2 stitches and in the ch 2 space of the corner, make (3dc, ch3, dc)
Side 2 – ch 2, skip the next 2 stitches and dc in the next stitch.
CORNER 2 – ch 2, skip 2 stitches and in the ch 2 space of the corner, make (dc, ch3, 3dc)

Side 4 - ch 2, skip the next 2 stitches and dc in the next stitch.

Round 4 (sc round):
Side 1 – Ch1, sc in the same stitch, sc in each stitch * till the next corner is reached.

CORNER 3 – in the ch 3 space of the corner, make (sc, ch2, 2sc)

REVERSE SC EDGING:
The last round will be a sc round. This sc round will form the base of the edging.
ch 1, doesn't count as a stitch,
Insert the hook into the previously made stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop.
You should now have 2 loops on the hook.
Yarn over and pull it through both the loops (just like a regular sc).
Repeat the same all around till last stitch and tie off the yarn. Using a Sewing needle, join the last stitch to the first one of the round and weave in the ends.
The picture below gives you an idea of how to go about the reverse sc stitch.
Another pattern I have used this edging is the 'Five Spice Coasters'
