Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Central Circle (Base)

With beige yarn, chain 4, join with a slip stitch into a ring.
Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc); work 13 double crochets (dc) into ring for 14 dc total.
Join with slip stitch to finish round.

2. Round 2 – First Increase

Slip stitch (sl st) to second stitch.
Ch 3, dc in same stitch. (2 dc in each stitch around) — 28 dc total.
Join with sl st.

3. Round 3 – Continued Increase

Sl st to second stitch.
Ch 3, dc in next stitch. In following stitch, work 2 dc (increase).
Dc in next, 2 dc in next; repeat around.
Join with sl st.

4. Round 4 – Increasing Interval

Sl st to second stitch.
Ch 3, dc in next 2 stitches. In following stitch, work 2 dc (increase).
Dc in next 2, 2 dc in next; repeat.
Join with sl st.

5. Round 5 and Beyond – Expanding Circle

Continue pattern, increasing the gap between increases every round:
- 3 dc, increase (repeat)
- 5 dc, increase (repeat)
- 7 dc, 9 dc, 11 dc, 13 dc, up to 15 dc between increases.
Work until piece measures 36 cm (or desired diameter) across.
If circle cups up slightly after last round, do not worry; border rounds will flatten it.

6. V-Stitch Border (Green Yarn)

Attach green yarn.
Ch 3 (counts as dc), ch 2 (space), dc in same stitch (first V-stitch).
Ch 2, skip 1 st, (dc, ch 2, dc) in next st; repeat around.
Join with sl st.
Adjust so there are approximately equal spaces all around.

7. Flower Petals (Orange Yarn)

With wrong side facing you, join orange yarn at any V-stitch space.
For each flower:
- In V-stitch space: sc, 4 dc, sc — this forms 1 petal.
- Create 6 petals for each flower, working in V-space and adjacent chain spaces.
- After 6 petals, elongate your loop, turn work to right side.
- Insert hook behind first petal, pull loop through, ch 1 to close and cluster flower.
Between flowers, add 2 petals only as separators before starting next set of 6 petals (flower).
Continue this rhythm around the edge for all flowers.

8. Final Touches & Assembly

Weave in all ends neatly at the back using a tapestry needle.
Gently open each flower by pushing out petals for a raised effect.
If necessary, block your placemat lightly to straighten edges and flatten your work.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Flower color: Experiment with reds, yellows, pinks, or mixed hues for a vibrant table.
Yarn substitution: All sections can be worked in size 6 yarn for thicker mats.
Pattern scale: Increase or decrease rounds for custom sizes.
Border tightness: Don’t worry if piece cup-ups before border, as flowers & edge rounds flatten it.

Uses

Formal and casual table settings.
Gift sets for newlyweds or housewarmings.
Decorative layers under plates to protect surfaces and add visual interest.

Tip

For flawless flowers, always turn the work the right way around before anchoring the last petal group to your first. This ensures petals always face up and neatly frame your placemat.
