Crochet Table Mats “Vera”
Set the table with your own placemats with 80% recycled cotton yarn
These round plate coasters “Vera” are crocheted in the size you want and are easy to customize according to the size you want them. The table bases are crocheted with EKO Braided Rope 4 mm yarn and a 7 mm crochet hook, but you can also use EKO Mini yarn or EKO Braided Rope 3 mm, both available in different colors. This instruction is specially designed for beginners and you can determine the size of the coasters yourself.
Yarn Consumption: Approx. 330 g/coaster. To avoid the change of yarn, we recommend one roll (500 g) of EKO Braided Rope 4 mm per coaster. If you use EKO Braided Rope 3 mm, more is needed per coaster.
This is what you need:
Here's how to do it
In this tutorial, we will crochet a tablemat with double crochets.
Get started - the innermost ring
Hold the yarn in your left hand. Twist the yarn around your fingers (left hand) three times. Use your hook to go under the first two loops and hook the third with your hook and pull under the two finger loops, hook the yarn onto the hook and pull through. Now the loop on the crochet hook holds the double "inner ring" together and we can start on round 1.
First round
To begin the first round of stitches, start by chaining three.
Now we're going to make double crochet: Take the yarn over the crochet hook and go down with the crochet hook in the ring you just made, pick up yarn and pull through (you now have 3 loops on the crochet hook), pick up yarn and pull through 2 loops (you have two loops left on the hook), pick up the yarn one last time and pull through the last two loops. You have now crocheted a double crochet. Crochet another 10 pieces. You should have 11 posts plus the chain of 3 loops (as you did at the beginning). Now we're going to finish round 1 by bringing the hook down into the top of the three loops (as you did at the beginning) and pulling the yarn through both loops directly. Round 1 is now complete!
Second round
Now the mat will grow in size and therefore we start adding extra stitches. You start round 2 just like round 1 by chaining three. Then you crochet two double crochets in each stitch, and in the last stitch you crochet one double crochet. You have a total of 24 stitches. Finish the round the same way you finished round 1.
The following applies to round 3-9:
Begin each round by chaining 3. Finish in the same way as round 2.
Round 3
Crochet two double crochets in the first stitch and one double crochet in the following stitch. Now you crochet just like the last round, but you make two double crochets in every other stitch, in every other stitch you only make one double crochet. When you have repeated this 2-1 "sequence" 11 times, you make one double crochets in the stitch you have left, then you are done with the round. You should have a total of 36 stitches.
Round 4
Work two double crochets in the same stitch, then one double crochets in the next two stitches. When you have repeated this2-1-1 sequence 11 times, make two double crochets in the same stitch and then one double crochet in the last stitch. You have worked a total of 48 stitches.
Round 5 - the pattern changes, be careful here! :)
Start the round by crocheting two double crochets in the next two stitches. Then, crochet two double crochets in the next stitch, then again three double crochets in the stitches after. When you have repeated this sequence (1 double, 3 single) 11 times, make tow double crochets in the last stitch. You should now have 60 stitches.
Round 6
Crochet ont double crochet in the first stitch. Crochet two double crochet in the next stitch and then four double crochets in the stitches after. When you have repeated this sequence (1 double, 4 single) 11 times, you do a double crochet and then you finish with one double crochet. You have crocheted a total of 72 stitches.
Round 7
Crochet four double crochet crochets in the first four stitches. Crochet two double crochet in the same stitch and then five double crochet after. When you have repeated this sequence (1 double, 5 single) 11 times, you finish with one double crochet.
Round 8
Crochet double crochets in the first two stitches. Crochet tow double crochet in the next stitch and then six double crochets in the stitches after. When you have repeated this sequence (1 double, 6 single) 11 times, make two double crochet in the next stitch and then three double crochets in the last three stitches. You have crocheted a total of 96 stitches.
Round 9 (optional)
Crochet two double crochet in the next stitch and then 7 double crochets in the stitches after. When you have repeated this sequence (1 double, 7 single) 11 times, you make 6 double crochets. You should have a total of 108 stitches.
Finishing
Finish by cutting the yarn, leaving a 5-10 cm tail. Tie the remaining tail in a knot around the last loop to prevent it from unraveling. Tighten and hide the tail by attaching it through a few nearby loops.
Good Job!
