My Granny’s series features one round granny squares. This makes it really great for using up those tiny bits of yarn in your stash. If you don’t need a placemat, use it as a larger doily.

Materials:

• 282 Yards (257.9 Meters) of Worsted/Aran Weight Cotton Yarn - I used Lily Sugar n Cream in Red (21 Yards; 19.2 cm), Royal (21 Yards; 19.2 cm) and White (240 Yards; 219.5 Meters)
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Optional, Jewelry Pliers

Yarn Alternatives:
Bernat’s Handicrafter, Red Heart’s Smoothie, WeCrochet Dishie

Each square requires about 3 yards (2.7 meters) of yarn.

I used cotton yarn because it’s more absorbent and durable, but really any yarn will work. If you use a synthetic, just be cautious not to put any kind of hot pot or pan on the placemat.

Jewelry pliers are an excellent tool to use to help weave in ends, as cotton yarn can be quite tough on the fingers when weaving in with just fingers and a tapestry needle.

To make a 11.75” by 16.25” (29.8 cm by 41.3 cm) placemat, you’ll need 20 yards (18.3 meters) each of blue and red, and about 190 yards (173.7 meters) of white; for a 14.5” by 19.88” (36.8 cm by 50.5 cm) placemat, you’ll need 25 yards (22.9 meters) each of blue and red, and about 300 yards (274.3 meters) of white.

Time Spent:
This placemat took just under 8 hours, 15 minutes.

Measurements:
13.75” Wide by 18.13” Tall (34.9 cm Wide by 46.1 cm Tall)

Gauge/Tension:
16 HDC by 10 Rows = 4” (16 HTR by 10 Rows = 10.2 cm)
