The Woven Placemat Collection offers a stunning array of placemats crafted with an innovative slipped-stitch knitting technique that creates the look of woven fabric. Cast on a placemat and watch the design magically emerge!

Start your Woven Knitting journey with Woven Placemat A. It is the easiest in the collection, a great way to master the technique.

This is the perfect gift for every occasion: a wedding, housewarming, hostess or holiday gift, or as a treat for yourself. Make this truly special by:

• knitting a set with one or more of the four designs
• unleashing your creativity with the Design Your Own Woven Placemat feature
• selecting colours that harmonize with the recipient’s personal style.

Use Queensland Coastal Cotton with its easy-care (machine washable) requirements for placemats that will be used every day.

The woven look of the fabric is created with an easy to memorize 8 round repeat. The Woven Placemat tutorials guide you through this pattern.
