Coil Crochet Placemats | Trial and Error! | Cody's Craft Corner - Video

My blog goes into detail about the process, but I feel this needs a visual tool as well: https://craftycody.com/crochet/coil-crochet-placemats/

Sometimes I think most of my DIYs are me trying something out for the first time then telling all of you where I messed up and how to do it better. I'm hoping I'm saving someone some time!

This is my first delve into coil crochet (maybe pseudo-coil crochet is more apt). I've been needing a set of placemats and nothing I found sparked any joy. Plus they're weirdly expensive. So, as always, I decided to make some.

I am loving the neutral-colored rainbow trend that is happening right now. They are so whimsical and you can pick any color scheme you'd like. I went with natural jute rope and a charcoal-colored yarn.

I was going to crochet some but thought it would be fun if they were made from rope and so I did a quick search on how to start that project. Turns out, you just crochet over the rope and that's about it!

Start with a magic ring then use single crochet stitches to bind the rope and repeat that until you're done.

Supplies:
1. Rope (3/8in thick, 6 yards)
2. Yarn (weight 4 cotton)
3. 5mm crochet hook
