Picot Placemat & Doily Set 071 by Simply Made by Erin

What Is Being Made

This downloadable crochet pattern creates a coordinated set of two decorative pieces: a placemat and a matching doily. Both items feature decorative picot edging, making them elegant additions to any table setting or home décor arrangement. The placemat and doily can be made as a coordinated pair or individually, offering flexibility for crafters looking to create functional yet decorative table accessories.

Craft & Primary Technique

This is a crochet project designed for crafters at the Advanced Beginner skill level. The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet techniques combined with decorative picot stitch elements, making it accessible to those with basic crochet experience while introducing slightly more advanced finishing details. The picot technique—a decorative loop created along edges—adds visual interest and a refined appearance to both pieces.

Stitches Used

The pattern employs essential crochet stitches including:

• Chain (ch) – the foundational stitch used to create the base of the project
• Single Crochet (sc) – a basic, tight stitch for structure and density
• Half Double Crochet (hdc) – a medium-height stitch providing balanced texture
• Chain 3 Picot (ch3p) – a specialized decorative stitch creating small loops along edges for an ornamental finish
• Back Loop Only (blo) – a technique working through only the back loop of stitches for textural variation

Materials & Yarn Requirements

This pattern calls for Size 6 super bulky yarn, which creates quick, satisfying results ideal for beginners. The yarn requirements are modest and economical:

• Placemat: Approximately 80 yards of super bulky yarn
• Doily: Approximately 155 yards of super bulky yarn

The designer recommends Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick or Bernat Maker yarn for this project. When using Bernat Maker, the pattern suggests holding 2 strands together to achieve the desired thickness and drape. Results may vary depending on the specific yarn brand and fiber content used.
