The young couple is on a weekend trip again – this time they visit the cool capital Berlin!
Walking through the Brandenburger Tor is a must. Also the Reichstagsgebäude is worth a visit. And of course, the TV tower is omnipresent. The motif is a real eye catcher on the set table. And it is so much fun to watch the picture develop while knitting.

This placemat is knitted in the double knitting technique. Thus, it looks beautiful on both sides.

Size: With a gauge 25 stitches x 40 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4“ x 4“), size of the finished placemat is approx. 30 cm x 44 cm (12” x 17,6”)
