Wavy Granny Placemat

This is a crochet pattern only!

Description:

A Wavy Granny placemat is a two-color crochet placemat worked in alternating stripes of contrasting colors, featuring a rhythmic wavy stitch pattern. 

The stitch pattern is based on the classic Granny stitch, but with a little twist, it gives the fabric more texture and fewer holes. 

The border around the mat gives a finishing touch and hides floats created by color changes. 

Skills:

Basic crochet stitches (sl st, ch, sc, hdc, dc), making a few sts in the same space, special spike stitch works like dc but in a different spot from usual dc.

Yarn: Worsted or aran weight cotton yarn in 2 contrast colors.
