Materials

• Size H (5.0 mm) crochet hook
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Gauge

4” x 4” = 12 double crochet stitches (dc) and 7 rows

Abbreviations

• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• st = stitch

Instructions

Step 1: Foundation Chain

Start by making a slip knot. Chain 60 (or adjust for desired size). This will form the base of your mat.

Step 2: First Row

In the 4th chain from the hook, make 1 dc. DC in each remaining chain across the row. (Total of 58 dc). Turn your work.

Step 3: Creating the Pattern

Row 2: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), dc in the next st, *skip 1 st, dc in next st; repeat from * across the row. Turn.

Row 3: Ch 3, dc in the first st, dc in each dc across. Turn.

Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until your mat measures approximately 18 inches in diameter. Adjust the number of rows for larger or smaller mats as desired.

Step 4: Finishing Edges

Once you reach the desired length, ch 1 and make a sl st in each st around the edge for a clean finish.

Step 5: Adding Fringes (Optional)

Cut several pieces of yarn, each about 6 inches long. Fold each piece in half and pull the loop through an edge stitch, then pull the ends through the new loop to secure. Repeat around the mat's edge.

Step 6: Weaving in Ends

Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends. Trim excess yarn.

Care Instructions
