This easy crochet pattern makes one piece that works two ways — a pretty hand towel for the kitchen, or a placemat for your table. Make it with a soft cream center and striped borders running down each side, or striped all the way through. Both versions are included.

Instructions for a matching napkin holder are included too, worked on a 2” wooden ring. Together they make a lovely handmade table setting — and a printable gift tag is included, so your finished set is wrapped and ready to give.

TOWEL OR PLACEMAT? The same instructions make either one. Use it as a hand towel in the kitchen, or set it at each place for a handmade holiday table. If you’re making placemats as a set of four, you’ll need four wooden rings for the matching napkin holders.

TWO LOOKS, ONE PATTERN The pattern is written for the plain version shown here — a cream center with striped borders down each side. Color change notes for the fully striped version are included too, so you can make either look.

MAKE IT A SET Pair it with the Evergreen Washcloth for a beautiful handmade gift set. Tie them together with twine, add a pretty bar of soap or a candle and the printable tag, and you have a present that’s pretty, practical, and actually gets used. It’s my go-to for hostess gifts and housewarmings.
