Step-by-Step Instructions

Placemats

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your knitting needle.

   • Row 6: *P2, K2* repeat this pattern until the end of the row.
   • Continue repeating Rows 5-6 until the piece measures 14 inches in length.
4. Finish with Garter Stitch:
   • Row 7-10: Knit all stitches across to create a final garter stitch border.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain the elasticity of the edge.

Napkin Rings

1. Cast On: Cast on 12 stitches onto your knitting needle.
2. Ribbed Pattern:
   • Row 1: Knit all stitches across the row.
   • Row 2: *K2, P2* repeat this pattern until the end of the row.
   • Continue repeating Row 2 until the piece measures 6 inches in length.
3. Bind Off: Bind off all stitches loosely.
