materials:
worsted weight cotton in two colors (I used Lily's Sugar and Cream)
----> To make one of each placemat you'll need 5-6 balls of one color and about 4 balls of the other/

size "I" hook
large eye yarn needle

for all color changes, draw up new color for last yo of previous row
placemat #1:
w/ color 1 (C1), ch 52, turn
Row 1: dc in 6th ch from hook, (ch 1, sk 1 ch, dc in next dc) across; 24 ch-sps
Row 2: ch 4, turn, dc in next dc, (ch 1, dc) in ea dc across.
Row 3-6: with color 2 (C2), rep Row 2
Row 7-10: w/ C1, rep Row 2

finish off
weaving:
cut 48 strands of each color approx. 6" longer than larger dimension of placemat.
holding 4 strands together, weaving will run perpendicular to your crocheted rows, to create plaid, use yarn needle to make weaving easier
Row 1: w/ C1, pass yarn under beginning ch, and over next, continue in this manner across. leave a tail on both ends
Row 2: w/ C1, in next space, pass yarn over beginning chain and under next, continue across.
alternating over and under starts, follow the remaining rows of the color pattern
Rows 3-6: C2
Rows 7-10: C1
Rows 11-14: C2
Rows 15-18: C1
Rows 19-22: C2
Rows 23,24: C1
to finish off the weaving, start at any corner, separate the set of 4 strands into 2 pairs, pull one pair to the opposite side of the chain so that 2 strands are on either side of your foundation mesh.
hold all 4 strands back together and knot to keep in place.
once all strands are knotted at both ends, trim fringe to make it even.
