Granny's Scrappy Placemat

My Granny's series features one round granny squares. This makes it really great for using up those tiny bits of yarn in your stash. If you don't need a placemat, use it as a larger doily. You'll need 282 yards of worsted weight yarn. As a placemat, I recommend cotton since it's more durable, but as a doily, acrylic works too. I used Lily Sugar n Cream for my placemat. Alternatively, I recommend WeCrochet Dishie (cotton) or Red Heart Super Saver (acrylic). I have included instructions to make a variety of sizes depending on your preference. This placemat took me about 8.25 hours to complete.

They are both decorative and functional and they also make beautiful gifts for your loved ones, be it any occasion. You can color code them and make them according to the holiday season. Today am sharing the pattern for this super easy and quick to make Crochet Square Placemat Potholder. These work up really quickly. I have used Cobble Stone Stitch. This is an awesome stitch pattern which gives a lovely texture. This pattern is a repeat of only 2 rows throughout which is made by alternating each row. The Border is made up with Puff Stitches. These pot holders would look nice with both variegated and solid colors. These pretty potholders are the perfect beginner pattern for a quick and fun project to show off your crochet skills.

Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth

I whipped up this very quick and easy scrubby dishcloth. If you haven't worked with Scrubby Yarn before, this would make a great first project. This easy dishcloth is crocheted with a larger sized hook (7 mm) and uses only simple stitches. The Double Thick Scrubby Dishcloth is crocheted with 2-strands of Scrubby Yarn held together. I chose to use 2 different colors from my Stash but you could just as easily use 2 strands from one ball of yarn. This scrubby dishcloth took me less than 15 minutes to crochet - so I'm sure you will have it done quickly too!

Double thick and super squishy, its small size makes it particularly good at getting into smaller corners and edges. I personally prefer smaller dishcloths for cleaning, they are just easier for my hands to hold onto! Try this pattern and let me know what you think! Maybe you will decide you prefer small dishcloths too! You can substitute any yarn and hook for this stitch pattern - just remember when you substitute if your gauge is different, the finished size of your project will also be different.

As always when it comes to crocheting wash and dishcloths you should always use a 100% cotton yarn. Hobby Lobby's I Love This Cotton is the perfect yarn to use for this pattern, but really any cotton yarn will do.
