Product Description
If you are looking for the perfect wedding gift, housewarming gift or just a nice way to personalize your table, the Mandala Placemat pattern is for you.
It is worked in the round, changing color for each round.
Materials I used the following materials for this pattern:
3 mm hook
Cotton yarn: In total, you will need 2 50g skeins of Schachenmayr Catania Originals per placemat. They have 96 colors for this yarn, you’ll definitely find some for your placemats. I used 10 different colors but you can choose as many or as few you want.
T-pins for blocking.
Size The finished size of one placemat is 37 cm. It has taken me a lot of time and trial and error to decide on the best size. It had to be big enough so you can enjoy it when the table is set but not take too much room on the table so you can still seat people. So 37cm it is.
Abbreviations I use UK notations.
sl = slip stitch ch = chain dc = double crochet tr = treble crochet dtr = double treble crochet puff = puff stitch

What Is Being Made
The Mandala Placemat is a decorative crochet placemat designed by Knitting with Chopsticks. This project creates an elegant, colorful table accessory perfect for personalizing your dining setting. The designer originally created these mandala placemats as a wedding gift, making them suitable for special occasions, housewarming celebrations, or everyday table décor. The placemat features a mandala design that combines both visual appeal and practical functionality for table settings.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This crochet pattern employs traditional mandala construction techniques, which typically involve working in rounds from the center outward. This circular, radial approach creates the characteristic geometric and symmetrical patterns associated with mandala designs. The pattern allows for customization in color application, enabling crafters to create pieces with as many or as few colors as desired, though the original design showcases 10 different colors for maximum visual impact and elegance.
Stitches Used
While the complete stitch list is referenced in the pattern materials section, the Mandala Placemat uses standard crochet stitches typical of mandala patterns. These foundational stitches create the intricate geometric designs characteristic of mandala work.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The Mandala Placemat pattern calls for sport weight yarn, which provides a refined fabric suitable for decorative table linens. Crafters will need a crochet hook appropriate for sport weight yarn. The original design uses 10 different yarn colors, though the pattern accommodates personal preference for color quantity and selection, allowing makers to adapt the project to their available materials and aesthetic preferences.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as beginner difficulty, making it accessible to crocheters new to the craft while still producing an elegant, professional-looking finished piece. The straightforward construction and clear instructions from Knitting with Chopsticks make this an ideal project for developing foundational crochet skills.
