Let the self-striping colors do all the work! Well, there might also be some tension and counting involved.

Crochet this placemat with a step by step photo tutorial on the blog. Learn how to change your tension when crocheting stitches to create even rows of color with this variegated yarn.

Lily Sugar n’ Cream American Stripes was used for this placemat.

Gauge is IMPORTANT for this project, as you want the colors to be in complete rows for this pattern.
