From the description: Breakfast in bed, romantic dinner for two -- any way you serve it you might as well make it beautiful. This graceful placemat is knit in a simple slip stitch that allows it to lie flat. Artful crochet is worked around the entire piece to give it a romantic edge. Create a matching napkin ring using the same knit and crochet stitches. If you’re so including you can whip up a whole table full to impress your guests.
