Set of four 13”x18” placemats, each made up of 2 lemon motif, 2 orange motif and 2 lime motif granny squares bordering on two sides of a panel of back-loop-worked half-double crochet oriented sideways, creating a ribbed texture. The individual units are sewn together, then edged with reverse single crochet.

The granny square instructions are both written and charted, the panel and edging instructions are written, the assembly instructions are written and include a diagram.

The pattern suggests using Red Heart Luster Sheen 100% Acrylic yarn: 3 skeins of Vanilla, 2 skeins of Lime, 1 skein of Orange. The granny squares are made in combinations of all 3 colors, the center panel is crocheted in Vanilla with 2 narrow stripes of Orange, the edging is done in Lime.
