Crocheted Tulip Placemats

This tulip placemat is a cheerful way to welcome spring. I designed this pattern when I was living in Seattle, and wanted something to brighten my kitchen - a definite necessity while waiting for the beautiful, sunny days of summer. I highly recommend using cotton yarn for this project because it absorbs spills and is easily washed. I used Sugar 'n Cream worsted weight and a size J crochet hook. Red tulip pattern placemats.

 

Skill Level:

Intermediate: Only because there are so many yarn changes

Beginners: This pattern uses only 2 crochet stitches, the chain (ch) and the double crochet (dc). It makes a great-looking placement using one color, too. The skipped stitch edging gives it that little something extra.

Supplies:

  • 1 skein of background color per placemat (BC)
  • 1/4 skein for tulip petals per placemat (TP)
  • 1/4 skein for stems/leaves per placemat (SL)
  • size H crochet hook

Note: Stitches designations are in lower case, while color designations are in caps.

Directions:

  • Using BC, chain 51 (49 plus 2 - each row will have 49 stitches)
  • Row 1: dc across for a total of 49 stitches (the 2 extra chains from base chain will form the first dc), turn
  • Row 2: ch 2 (forms first dc for each row), dc 48, turn

You are so creative -- you're inspiring me. I think I'm going to try to make some. Is there a reason you crochet your rows along the length and not the width? Does one way work better than another?
