Get festive and make up this stunning stranded colorwork placemat to add warmth to your table this season.

Using 2 of your favorite colors in a superwash worsted/dk wool this project will add that extra something special to your table. Easy care too.

If you are new to stranded colorwork this could be a great project to give you experience. The pattern is simple and you don’t have to catch any floats since it will be closed up once complete.

This pattern can also be used as a fun decorative accent pillow. Just add your form or filler before you close it up.

There are a few other ways this pattern could be used too… a cowl (just add a ribbing at the top and bottom), continue the repeats making it longer for a table runner, and more. Let your imagination run wild.
