This unique placemat Is right in time for the holidays great for that special gathering of friends and family. This placemat will give an elegant touch to the dinning room table. Nothing of course is written in stone feel free to adjust colors to your preference I just chose these colors because I love the way the 2 colors accented each other ! I did use a size 5mm hook but if you prefer to use a smaller or bigger hook that’s up to you just remember it changes the outcome of the pattern. I really had a blast with the added turkey to the placemat I chose to set it off to the side so you can still see it while eating. Especially the little ones gives them something to do!! I later may make a matching table runner to go along with! I have multiple colors because of the color needed for the feathers of the turkey! feel free to use any type of yarn I just chose red heart as my go to the colors are as follows: pewter blue, light blue, chocolate brown, buff brown, pumpkin orange, shocking pink, yellow, black & olive green. I took a lighter color to accent the middle of the feather you don’t really don’t have to do that; It is totally up to you!!
