Before You Begin

Many patterns instructions include recommendations for skill level. You may find that some patterns are termed easy, while others may be rated for intermediate or skilled crafters. If you are a beginner, be sure to check out our article on learning to crochet. We also have articles dedicated to types of stitching and thread selections to help you get started.

Once you’ve chosen a crochet placemat pattern, you’ll need to decide on the color thread you want to use. If you are giving the placemat as a gift, it’s always a good idea to find out the color scheme of the recipient’s kitchen or dining room. While you might think a lovely purple placemat is the perfect gift, your friend or relative may have other ideas! If you are crocheting placemats for your own home, again consider the color scheme. When in doubt about what color to use, choose a neutral shade such as off-white or beige.
