Valley Yarns Delta Chaste Blues placemats are a beautiful way to add handmade décor to your kitchen or dining room. These practical pieces are also a great project for learning slip-stitch colorwork, with a simple 4 row repeat that will get you comfortable in no time! Valley Yarns Hawley blends cotton, silk, and nylon into a tweedy yarn with great texture and a soft feel. With a range of neutrals, pastels, and jewel tones, it’ll be a snap to find two that work for your kitchen—or a lucky gift recipient’s! Delta Chaste Blues placemats are worked flat in one piece with garter stitch edgings. Matching garter stitch side borders are picked up and knit after the body of the placemats are complete. Slip-stitch pattern is both charted and written out.
