 Summer Garden Set 



If you fancy sprucing up your garden table this Summer 
how about crocheting some bright and colourful table mats. 


For the tablemats I used Rico Creative Cotton Aran in:
 Light Pistachio 44, Sky Blue 37, Candy Pink 64 and Rose 00. 

I used approx. 1 ball of each to make these two mats.
I worked with a 3.5mm hook.


Round 1: Begin by making a Magic Ring,  CH2 and work 12 TR in to the ring. 
Join with a SLST. 12 sts. CH 2.

Round 2: Work 2 TR in to each stitch. SL ST to join. 24sts. CH2.


Round 3: *Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to the next stitch*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 36 sts. CH 2.

Round 4: *Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to each of the next 2 stitches*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 48 sts. CH 2.

Round 5: *Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to each of the next 3 stitches*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 60 sts. CH 2.

Round 6: Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to each of the next 4 stitches*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 72 sts. CH 2.

Round 7: Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to each of the next 5 stitches*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 84 sts. CH 2.

Round 8: Work 2 TR in to the first stitch and then 1 TR in to each of the next 6 stitches*. 
Repeat from * to * all the way around. SL ST to join. 96 sts. 

Finish off and sew in the ends.


 For the bobbly edging I chose to work in two colours.



Join in your first colour and DC 1.* In to the next stitch work 4 TR all in to the same stitch, 
leaving the last loop of each TR on the hook. 
Yarn over in your second colour and pull through all 5 loops. 
SL ST in to the next stitch*, and repeat from * to *.

Continue working your way around the edge making the bobbles in alternate colours.
  
At the end of the round SL ST to finish off and sew in your ends.



These tablemats make up part of a full garden set of Cushions, 
Nightlight jars and matching Bunting,

You can find the patterns for the Nightlight jars here
