Are you getting ready for the holidays? Kelley's latest knit holiday table decoration is the Linen Stitch Placemat. These easy-to-knit placemats lay completely flat and add a level of elegance to your table that would cost a pretty penny at the store! The Linen Stitch Placemats look great in a solid color or in two alternating colors. You can download the free knit placemat pattern here!

How to Knit Two-Color Linen Stitch

In the video above, Kelley demonstrates how to knit the linen stitch in two colors or one. There are also two different options for the edges of the placemats, completely customizable to what you prefer! 

Recommended Yarn

Kelley knit her placemats using Remix by Berroco, a yarn made from recycled fibers. Kelley is still testing out Remix as a possible yarn we might carry. Instead of Remix, she recommends using Pima 100 by Berroco because it is a very durable yarn that is also extremely soft to the touch. Since it is made from 100% cotton, the placemats are easy to clean as well.
