An up to date version of a 1940s pattern, taking advantage of all the gorgeous yarns and colours available nowadays and using just 30gms of 4ply (fingering) yarn.

The finished placemat has a diameter of approx 30cms (12”) after blocking.

Why not make a whole set for Christmas?

The pattern can also be knitted in heavier duty DK cotton (50gms approx) and could make a beautiful, colourful dishcloth you were proud to display!
