This project would make a great wedding or a hostess gift. It could be a great way of using up some left over yarn and could be completed in just a couple of evenings. Also, it is a very good idea for last minute holiday knitting.

The instructions both written and charted. Placemats are worked in the linen stitch, which is reversible and looks very nice on both sides. The runner has a touch of embroidery, which is optional, but adds a bit of whimsy. You may find video tutorial and some useful tips on working linen stitch and binding it off posted on my blog.
