Description

This placemat and its snowflake coaster companion are a quick and easy project, perfect for a lasthour gift or for a evening of stitching.

The pattern uses basic stitches:

• chain
• single crochet
• double crochet
• treble crochet
• surface slip stitch to embellish

The surface slip stitch is made with mouliné (3 strands) and 1 metallic thread DMC Diamant. Red mouliné with gold Diamant, white mouliné with silver Diamant.

The placemat is worked in two stages: first we’ll work the triangle in dc. Then we’ll attach the contrast color at the base of triangle and we’ll work the parallelogram section.
