A Touch of Autumn Placemats
Inspiration
I have had plans to design placemats for a while now but I have not been able to do it till now. After I finished A Touch of Autumn Potholders, I decided that I was going to design and make the placemats to march the potholders. I loved how the pattern was quick and easy to make.
This placemat pattern is a beginner-friendly pattern that uses the simple basic stitches of single crochet and chains.

The Yarn
I used Lily Sugar n Cream Super Size 100% Cotton medium weight yarn in Ecru, Jute, and Warm Brown for one potholder and Cream, Yellow, and Bamboo for the other potholder. I love this yarn because it is readily available in local stores and they have a variety of colors to choose from.
If unable to find this particular yarn, you can use any medium-weight 100% cotton or cotton-blend yarn.
I have used this yarn to make many for several projects and have always been satisfied with the results. Below are some of the projects I have made using the yarn. As you can see I have made some towels and bags using the yarn.fSee below my Kitchen towels and Potholders that you might like:

Finishing off
Fringe (Optional)
Take all yarns and wind them around a 4” cardboard or 4 fingers or roughly the length you want.
Cut at one end.
Fold each strand in half, alternating the 3 colors. Starting at the beginning chain and working on the width of the placemat (shorter side), pull the strand through the placemat using a crochet hook. Pull through the loop to secure. You can use a smaller hook to make it easier.
Do this in every st and chain for the width of the placemat on both sides.
