The essence of summer, these placemats recall long, lazy days by the shore. With colours reminiscent of white sandy beaches, coral-tinted seashells, the sea and the sky, the Somertide Placemats set the scene for a summer lunch by the pool. Just add freshly squeezed lemonade to complete the picture!
The placemats are reversible and are worked using two stands of a crisp cotton/linen yarn held together. The pattern includes instructions for four different sizes of placemats together with a set of matching coasters.
Please see below for more details about this pattern.
