Crochet Autumn Placemats

I found this beautiful autumn colored yarn in JoAnn’s the other day. It’s Lily Sugar ‘N Cream yarn in Autumn Leaves Ombre. I went to work right away on my crochet Autumn Placemats. These double crochet placemats are worked in the round with two strands of yarn without turning and are finished with a reverse crochet stitch edge. They make a beautiful addition to an autumn-inspired table setting. For a variation in color, replace one strand of yarn with solid autumn color. Pick from shades of red, brown, orange, brown, and green.
