Fall in love with these cottage-core style placemats that are both pretty and practical. Created in Bernat Softee Cotton, each placemat is knit in garter stitch strips with simple color changes, while the scalloped edge is worked to length using increases, decreases, and yarn overs, then seamed in place during finishing. Washable and absorbent, create a set for a thoughtful housewarming gift that comes from the heart.
