Flower Power Placemat


Here is a completed Flower Power Placemat. This is the first time I have had a placemat that my china from Germany actually looks good on!

It took a full skein of cotton yarn. This yarn was Fantasy Naturale by Plymouth and is just this side of "bulky". I chose it because of the color, but liked the way it felt in my hands. It knitted up soft and cushy.

After knitting, I dampened it and blocked it so it would lie flat and smooth.

I showed this placemat to my Knitting Guild and one member was so excited about the pattern that I gave her my pattern copy. Becka, you have started something!
