To Make the Snowflake Motif

These instructions use UK terminology.

Use a medium weight yarn. I made these with DK yarn and a 4mm hook.

Chain 3 stitches and join with a slip stitch into a circle.

Chain 1, then make 5 double crochet stitches into the circle. Join with a slip stitch. (6 sts)

Chain 5, then make 3 trebles and chain 2 into next 5 stitches. Make 2 trebles in the last stitch and join to the first 5 chain with a slip stitch.

Chain 2, then (make 2 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into the first chain space. Then (make 3 trebles, chain 3, make 3 trebles) into each chain space all around. Join with a slip stitch.

To Make the Placemat

Make 7 hexagon motifs.

I made one hexagon in two colours and used it for the centre.

Join together around the centre motif by joining at the corners.

Make a double crochet border all around the outside edge.
