How to Make a Daisy Square Crochet Placemat

The daisy granny square is an easy pattern and the little pile of crochet daisy squares work up quickly. You can add more squares to make a bigger placemat if you wish. Each square measures 3.5 x 3.5 inches.  

Join the squares with a slip stitch seam as I did, or opt for another method like the whip stitch for a different look. A simple single crochet border gives your placemat a polished edge.

A light steam blocking is the perfect finishing touch to even out the stitches and create the flat finish on the placemat.

Choosing the Perfect Yarn for Your Placemats

• DK weight yarn: Cotton is the best yarn for placemats and coasters. It’s durable, keeps its shape well, and is machine washable – perfect for handling spills and everyday use. I used DK cotton yarn and a 3.5mm hook for this project.
• Worsted Weight Yarn:  If you prefer a thicker and more substantial placemat, consider using worsted weight cotton. You’ll need a larger hook size (around 4.5mm) to achieve the correct gauge. This option is a great way to use up any leftover cotton yarn in your stash!  Remember, your placemats will come out larger with the thicker yarn.

Color Inspiration: I’ve included a list of colors in the pattern below, but feel free to get creative and choose different colors that complement your existing decor.

Joining the Squares

• I used a slip stitch join for my squares, holding RS together and slip stitching through the back loops only
• You can use a yarn needle to sew squares together if preferred.
• Lay out squares in rows of 4 x 3 squares.
• Seams are worked by holding 2 squares with RS together and inserting the hook through the back loops of both squares and making a sl st join loosely.

Arrange the squares in your preferred layout. The joining of the squares is done in continuous rows vertically and then horizontally. You will join square by square until an entire row is finished. You will only cut your yarn when you reach the end of a row.
