Festive Knit Placemats

 

Sugar'n Cream Stripes PlacematOnce you’re ready to sit down and eat at that picnic table, you’ll need something to make it look a little more like home.  With the help of these knit placemats, you’ll be eating in style in no time.  The summer is great season to use your cotton placemats out of doors, since they’ll wash easily and can be easily moved from house to picnic table.  These free knitting patterns are a wonderful way to take your cookout to the next level.

 

 

Knit Pot Holders and Hotpads

 

Summer Fruit Pot HoldersHot pads are something often overlooked in the typical kitchen.  They end up shoved in drawers and forgotten, or are used perhaps a bit beyond their natural life span.  However, wool is actually a prime material to use for hot pads; it’s a naturally fire-resistant fiber that, at worst, will merely singe (unless you’re throwing the pot holder directly into a fire).  These knitted hot patterns will be a joy to create and use.  Adding a little bit of decorative flair to your table is easy with these free knitting patterns, and they’re great stash busters to boot. You’ll be sure to get plenty of compliments if you use one of these at your next cookout or family dinner.
