1. Introduction: Hello, everyone. This is
Naguminal your crochet tutor. Today we'll be seeing
how to crochet this beautiful center
round placemat. It is very simple and very easy. If you know the
basics of crochet, then it is a very
easy place matter. Now, let's get
started and see how to make this beautiful
round placemat.
2. Crochet Supplies required: Let's take a look at
the crochet supplies that are required
for this placement. I'm using this Olivia
brand yarn and today I'm using the
shared medium turquoise. For this particular yarn, I'll be using a 4.5
millimeter hook. Based on the thickness of the
yarn which you'll be using, you can use a
different hook size. You'll be needing a
pair of scissors, a tapestry needle
and stitch markers. Grab your crochet supplies,
let's get started.
3. Making Round 1 to Round 5: This particular place map, we'll be working in rounds, we'll start off by
making a magic ring. A magic ring is ready. For round number one, we'll
be working double crochets. Start off by making chain three, one, two, and three. After making three chains, I'm going to use a stitch
marker and I'm going to mark my third chain over here. It'll be very easy and you won't get confused when you're going to finish this
particular round. This will be considered as
our first double crochet. Into this magic ring, we are going to work 17
more double crochets. So far, I have made five sets of double crochets work
all the way around, and I'll meet you at the end. I have made my 17 set
of double crochets. Now including this
chain three over here, we'll be having a
total of 18 stitches. Now we'll close of
this magic ring. Now I have closed my magic ring, it's looking nice and tight. Now let's finish off this round by making
a slip stitch at the top of our chain
three over here. We have finished our
round number one. Moving on to round number two, I'm going to start off
by making chain four, one, two, three, and four. This will be counted
as a double crochet, followed by a chain one. The first three will be
counted as my double crochet, followed by a chain one space. Now what I'm going
to do is this is my fourth chain over here
over the third chain, I'm going to insert
my stitch marker. We have marked chain
three over there. Now what I'm going to do is
moving on to my next stitch, I'm going to work
a double crochet. Chain one. Now again
in my next stitch, work a double crochet, then again, a chain one. So into each and every stitch, we'll be working
a double crochet followed by a chain one space, and this will be the pattern
for this round number two. At the end of round number two, you'll be having a total of 18 double crochets with
18 chain one space. Work all the way around, I'll meet you at the end. Now we have reached the end
of our round number two, so now we are having a total of 18 sets of double crochets
with 18 chain one space. Now I'm removing this
stitch marker over here and insert the hook at the top of your third chain and
make a slip stitch. We are done with our
round number two. Moving on to round number three, start off by making chain three. This will be considered as
my first double crochet. Again, mark it using
a stitch marker. Now in this chain one space, I'm going to work two
sets of double crochet. Now again, the top of
your previous ditch, we'll be working a double
crochet and in this space, we'll be working two
double crochets. Now again, one more double
crochet in this space. Now here we'll be working one double crochet and
in the chain one space, work two sets of
double crochets. This will be the pattern
for our round number three. Follow the same pattern, I'll meet you at
the end over here. We have reached the end of
our round number three. In this round, you'll be having a total of 54 set of stitches. Remove your stitch marker and make a slip stitch in the top of your chain
three over here. We are done with our
round number three. Moving on to round number four, it is somewhat similar to that of Round number two with
a slight difference. Start off by making chain three, one, two, and three. This will be a first
double crochet. Now I'm going to insert my hook over here and I'm going
to mark my chain three. So after working a chain
three, work another chain. Total of four chains. This will be counted as a double crochet with
a chain one space. Now we worked our four chains. In round number two, if you see, we worked in each
and every stitch. We worked a double crochet
with a chain one space. Here, we'll be skipping one
stitch and we'll be working. Skip the next stitch
and into the next one, the third one work
a double crochet. Followed by a chain one. Now again, skip the next
stitch and over here, work a double crochet. Again, a chain one. Now skip the next
stitch and work one double crochet.
And a chain one. Follow the same pattern and
work all the way around. I'll meet you at
the end over here. We have reached the end
of our round number four. At this point, as you can see, our mat has curled
up a little bit, need not worry about that. When we further move on in
making our next rounds, the curl up will get flattened when we increase
the number of stitches. As you can see, I have
left my last stitch over here and now top
of your chain three, we are going to
work a slip stitch. Moving on to round number five, start by making chain three. Again, I'm using my
stitch marker and I'm marking my chain
three over here. Now into the chain base work
two sets of double crochet. In the previous stitch
work one double crochet and in this chain space work
two sets of double crochets. As you can see, this
is somewhat similar to that of our round number three, but it'll have a slight
difference when we finish it up. Work one double
crochet in each of the previous stitch and two double crochets
in the chain space. Work in the same manner for this entire round
and this last block, we'll do it in a different way. I'll show you when I reach here now we are at the end
of our round number five. This last block is
yet to be worked. Until now, I have worked two sets of double crochets
in my chain space. But in this last space, I'll be working only
one double crochet. In this previous stitch, as usual, you'll be working
one double crochet. In this chain space, we'll be working only
one double crochet. That is the only
difference here. Now remove the stitch
marker over here and make a slip stitch in the chain. We have made five rounds so far. A mat is looking nice and flat and the patterns
coming out well,

in our chain space. But in this particular
round number nine, we'll be working only
one double crochet in this chain spacer. Start off by making your

do is I'm going to count my last six stitches. I'm going to count my
last six chain spaces, one, two, three,
four, five, and six. This is my sixth chain space. In this space, I'm
marking a stitch marker. Okay. Now for our

this chain phase. From now onwards,
we'll be working only one double

weave this off now. A
6. Measurement & Class Project: We have finished our place mat, so it is looking
nice and big and the edging is looking very nice. Here we have followed
a different pattern. For this particular space, we have followed a specific
pattern and for the edging, the last three rows, it belongs to the edging and
it's completely different, a different round placement. You can use it either for a dining table or
you can use it as a pot holder or you can use it as a decorative centerpiece. Now let's check
the measurements. If you check the diameter
is 35 centimeters or 13.5 " so this is another
center place mat, the same pattern, but I
have used a different yarn. I used worst weighted yarn and I used a hook of
about 3.5 millimeter. In this tutorial, I have used 4.5 millimeter
hook and in this case, I have used 3.5 millimeter hook and it's
a worst weighted yarn. Now let's check the
measurement for this mat so this mat is 31 centimeters. For class project, you
can try this place mat in different colors
and you can also even use two different shades, you can use one
particular shade for the center portion
and for the edging, you can use a different
color or you can change the colors for every two rows like
this centerpiece, one color, followed by
the next four rows, one color, you can change
it in a similar way. It is as per your wish. For class project, try
this center place mat. With different yarn and
different hook size. Based on the thickness
of your yarn, you can change your hook size. You can try it in
different hook sizes with different yarn thickness and you can also use different shades. In case of any queries
related to this placemat, please be free to ask. I'll revert to you back
as soon as possible. I'll meet you in another
crochet tutorial until then by happy crocheting.
