Plaid, gingham, checkered, buffalo plaid…whichever you call this pattern, it’s traditional and always VERY popular! Having just purchased red & white gingham curtains for our interior kitchen window, I needed placemats to match! This pattern is very quick to work up and the colors are very versatile and can be substituted with any of your favorites for a unique and personalized look. Made with 100% cotton yarn, the placemats are washable and very durable. Need a table runner for your holiday, summer BBQ, spring picnic table? The variations are included to extend this pattern for a runner or tablecloth!
