19 Oct Basket and Place mats Set Knitting Pattern

After I crocheted a Basket and Placemats Set I suddenly started to find so many things I didn’t know I have to put in this basket! And I decided that I need another one, but this time I knitted it. Of course with matching placemats! So I switch them around on my table from time to time.

I love the texture of garter stitch and it does not roll on the edges, it’s a win-win!. I also sew in cute leather handles (the same handles I used in my rectangular set of baskets, you can find crochet pattern here).

The basket measures 9” in diameter x 3.5” H. Placemats measure 13” x 12, but you can go ahead and customize it by adding or decreasing amount of stitches on cast on and by knitting more or less rows.

What you will need:

T-shirt yarn (6 super bulky weight, super chunky yarn/100m(109yards)/330g) -109 yards (100 m)for basket

T-shirt yarn (6 super bulky weight, super chunky yarn/100m(109yards)/330g) -88 yards (80 m)for 1 placemat
