47 Cheerful Crochet Placemats to Serve Everyday Meals Nicely

In my opinion, it’s really great when things in your home are not only handmade (that’s amazing!) and beautiful but, above all – practical and time-saving. It’s because the last thing we all need in life is to surround ourselves with many items, that look good but serve no purpose. These beautiful crochet placemats are really amazing because they are extremely beautiful and, most importantly – practical. You can use them as a hot pad, coffee coaster, or even a rug if you make it big enough.

Here you will find a wide selection of crochet placemats free patterns for round, oval, and rectangle shapes. Sometimes you’ll see a star-shaped or hexagon crochet table mat, but they are only few, so I placed them to the round section.

Enjoy these free crochet patterns for placemats and give me your feedback in comments!
