    I've gotten one done so far, with the next one in progress. In cheerful worsted weight cotton, you can make a matching set or let each family member pick their favorite colors! The Bright Chevron Placemat makes a nice thick cloth that will protect your table from hot dishes and stains - and look good doing it.

    This free crochet placemat pattern is second in a series now - the matching dishcloth has been up for a couple of years, and I'm so glad to finally make some matching placemats! Now to decide what should be next...

    Matching Pattern: Bright Chevron Dishcloth

    NOTES: 

    This stitch pattern uses 2 active loops, one for each color of yarn. Use a stitch marker to secure the loop you are not currently using so the previous row does not come undone - this is abbreviated as "pm" in the pattern.

    This pattern also uses some unique stitches, which are linked to their tutorials within the pattern. If preferred, substitute a ch 3 for the CSDC.

    There is a video tutorial for this stitch pattern linked above.

      Someone above asked about coasters, I was going to try to reduce the pattern for the dishcloths to use as coasters. I'll try to remember to show you how they turned out.. Making the dishcloth first to get the hang of the pattern, LOL

      These placemats look amazing and so colorful! I love the idea of letting the family choose their own colors. So sweet! My table would literally look like a rainbow! LOL! Thanks for sharing!

      Love this pattern. How do you wash and dry them - will warm water and the dryer shrink the cotton yarn. or do you use cold and lay them out to dry. I haven't worried much when making washcloths but these are too pretty to take a chance with.

        Hi Geri! For these I would recommend handwashing and laying them flat to dry. 🙂

      Can you recommend a yarn that would be washable? I have a large family with young children. Sadly hands shingles usually gets a wink and a nod and a drop into the washer.

          No shingles for anyone please! 😉
          I understand! For ultimate kid safety and wash-ability I almost always recommend Vanna's Choice. You can't beat the color selection plus the way it stands up to busy family life! If acrylic isn't your thing, Lion Brand 27/4 Cotton is another great choice - it's cotton, but mercerized, and it too comes in a lot of fab colors!
