Gather Your Supplies: What You’ll Need for Your Crochet Placemat
Choosing the Right Yarn
For this project, we recommend using medium-weight (worsted) yarn in fall colors such as rust, mustard, and burnt orange. These colors will give your Autumn Crochet Placemat the seasonal feel you’re looking for. A soft acrylic or cotton yarn works best, as it’s durable and easy to work with.
- Yarn type: Worsted weight yarn
- Colors: Rust, mustard, burnt orange, or any fall color of your choice
- Yardage: Approximately 150-200 yards per placemat
Selecting the Correct Crochet Hook
For this crochet placemat pattern, you’ll need a size H (5.0mm) crochet hook. This hook size ensures that your stitches are tight enough to form a sturdy placemat, but not so tight that the project becomes stiff.
Other Essential Supplies
In addition to your yarn and hook, here’s what else you’ll need:
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
- Measuring tape (to ensure correct sizing)
- Optional: A felt-tip pen to mark stitch counts
