Free Crochet Table Lace Placemat Pattern

Great Pattern

Over the years I have made over a dozen of these and have had no problems with the pattern at all. I am a professional needleworker and have crocheted 60 of my 66 years. As a matter of fact, I am creating 4 for my new house. It makes me wonder how these other crocheters were taught.

The directions are a bit tricky for a beginner. The center is not clearly written, even for an experienced person. However, it comes out great and just like the picture. I did go down to a F hook And had no trouble with it laying flat. All said I would change the catagory to intermediate.

Simple pattern

Went in with low hopes due to the bad reviews but I managed to crochet it with no issues or missing stitches. Took me one full day from start to finish. Would probably take a more advanced person to do it more quickly. But over all a good pattern

Quick and easy

Good thing I don't get scared off by negative reviews. Easy pattern, quick too. Making a set of 6 for my mom and may turn the pattern into a table runner since she likes to put accompanied dinner items and drinks in the center of the table. Starting row has the correct number of chains, some may be miscounting or not understanding how to work both sides of the foundation chain. It does ruffle a bit, may need to block it. Just keep counting and you're good.

first row doesn't come out to 50 stitches

I made two of these, and they were fine...very hard to block, though. takes along time to get them to lay flat. A friend requested I make her two, and as I re-read the pattern, row 1 doesn't make sense. In order to get 50 stitches, do I need to end with 5dc in the last chain before adding the slip stitch? My recollection is that I followed the pattern the first time, but that was awhile ago. As written, I can't get row 1 to be 50 stitches.

• You will be joining in the round, first by working into the top of the foundation chain as usual across the chain. When you get to the end of the chain, you will then begin to work on the opposite side of the chain as well. If you follow the instructions, you will have 50 stitches at the end of the first round.

Needs to be rewritten

This pattern needs to be rewritten. The way it is written makes it seem like it wasn't tested at all. I had to modify the FIRST row in order to make the rest of the rows do-able and correct. The only issue after finishing it is that the middle (so the chair and first row) is curved slightly like an 'S' and doesn't lay fully flat. This pattern is definitely a 'you get what you paid for' pattern.

Not Beginner pattern

This is not a beginner pattern hi I found round 8 & 9 very confusing. I think Il giving up on this pattern. Even with an expert crocheter it was too complicated. Not a beginner pattern.

• We are sorry you have struggled with the 8th and 9th rounds. There is a bit of a learning curve with learning to read crochet patterns, but we do have great resources on our website for you. In the 8th and 9th rounds, the most common challenge are the various repeats. Here is a video which explains how to read crochet patterns. We have bookmarked the repeats section for your convenience. https://youtu.be/v4dfFR0G1Ao?feature=shared&t=1050

Slightly above beginner level

I found this somewhat confusing... It definitely could have been written better, especially considering it's for a beginner, some instructions were very vague.

I don't get 50 stitches for row 1; should there be another 5dc into last chain before the slip stitch? I don't remember what I did the first time I made these.

Round 9, I am experiencing the same issue as a previous writer. It went from flat and oval to wavy and bulging on the edges. Is there really nothing stitched into the chain spaces along the straight edges in this round?

in the sc, ch4 sc in round 5, is the second of these into the NEXT chain space

In round 5 which space are you cripocheting in

I finished 2 table lace placemats. Both were extremely wavy. I blocked it and that took care of most of the problem. I was wondering if I could eliminate some of the increase stitches or something like that to take care of the wavy problem. Suggestions?
