Picture Postcard Placemat

Every traveler collects memories from a trip, and some also collect memorabilia. Here’s your chance to memorialize your vacation with a labor of love that will remind you of the joy of discovery and refreshing respite your excursion brought. Choose a special scene from your travels to weave into your project.
This placement is constructed from the center outwards. Using Judy’s Magic Cast-on, the lower border of the panel is held on one needle while the rest of the panel is knit from that point up with stitches added on the right and left side held on the bottom needle that will form side panel borders. All live panel stitches will be then knit in the round with mitered corners and bind-off in an ICord.
