Crochet a Lemon Farmhouse Placemat to decorate your Farmhouse home this summer. The Lemon placematis the perfect companion to the Lemon Farmhouse Mug Rug,Coaster and the kitchen towel topper! I hope you enjoy this crochet pattern. You will find the free version if you keep scrolling. This placemat crochet pattern was part of the 2nd Launch of the “Summer Celebration At Krissy’s.
I sometimes use affiliate links in my posts. This won’t cost you anything, but will help offset the cost of yarn and other supplies needed, that I can continue bringing you crochet patterns and craft ideas. Thank you so much for your support.
The Mini Bean Stitch is beautiful on this placemat.
It is an easy stitch that has so much texture. It reminds me of piles of lemons. The right and left tilt is one of the things I adore about this stitch, and it is the highlight stitch of the Lemon Farmhouse Placemat. The fringe adds the finishing touch, just as it does on the Lemon Farmhouse Mug Rugs. Yes…there are two mug rugs. Let me know in the comments if you will be making the placemat, or any of the other items in the Lemon Farmhouse Kitchen and Table Decor series crochet patterns.
Lemon Farmhouse Placemat Information
Yarn Used:
Red Heart Super Saver; MC= White; CC1 Yellow; CC2 = Navy
MC = White 100 yds; CC1 = Yellow – 60 yds; CC2 = Navy – 2yds; I highly recommend cotton yarn, please pay careful attention to the Notes on the yarn used below.
Notes on Yarn Used:
If using a lightweight cotton such as Hobby Lobby’s “I Love This Cotton” it will make a smaller product. I recommend adding 4-6 chains to the base chain on the mug rug and placemat. I also recommend adding 2 to 4 rows at Rows 13-26 of the placemat.
Gauge:
4″x4″ = 14 st’s across x 13.5 rows high
Swatch
chain 26,
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1 & turn (25 st)
Row 2: sc in 1st st, *dc in nxt st, sc in nxt st* repeat across; ch 1 & turn (25 st)
Row 3- 18: Repeat row 1 & 2
Hook
H-8/5.00 mm
Stitch Guide:
MC = Main Color = White
CC1 = Contrasting Color = Yellow
CC2 = Contrasting Color = Navy
ch = Chain
sc = Single Crochet
join w/ = join with
slp st = Slip Stitch
skp = Skip
sp. = Space
nxt = Next
prev. = previous
st./st’s = stitch or stitches
beg. = beginning
* * = Complete sequence between the stars, the number of times stated;
x = Times; example Repeat 2 x or 2 times; 3 x or 3 times and so on;
in = example “in nxt st” means you will be inserting the hook under the top two loops of the next stitch to complete stitch or sequence of stitches stated
yo = Yarn Over
Special Stitch Guide:
mb = Mini Bean Stitch = insert hook into the stitch indicated, draw up a loop, yo, insert hook into the same st, draw up a loop, yo, draw thru all 4 loops on hook, ch 1 to close the stitch.
The mb stitch is a unique cluster stitch. When the pattern is worked in rows each row of stitches has a right and left tilt. It is easy to use the ch 1 space to execute the cluster, but it will not give you the right, left tilt. The Pic below is showing where to insert your hook, for the next row of clusters.

slp st in each st across, in a loose fashion, ch 1 & Turn. At the end of this row, drop CC2 & pull up MC at the ch 1. This sequence of stitches should not be tight as it will pull the placemat out of shape and make it curl. You are now looking at the right side of the placemat. Cut CC2 leaving approx. a 6″ tail to weave in later, or to use as fringe (43 st’s)

If you are not adding fringe, weave in all ends and block. I like to use the steam iron method.
If you are adding fringe no need to weave in ends as you can use them to help with the fringe. I suggest tying them into a knot first. Adding a light fringe is easy, pair 2 or 3 – 8″ strands of varying colors. Tie them into place at the desired area, trim to suit the length you would like. Block when you are finished adding fringe.
Finished Measurements : 14″ w x 10.5″ h

Cheryl Myers says
These are so cute!! I think I will change my kitchen to lemons
Kris says
Oh yes…I really think it’s a trend. Do you have a dollar tree close by? I live 30 minutes from anywhere…so I have been able to hit up a few dollar tree’s, and each one had different items in this lemon design.
Wendy Cohoon says
I saw the dishes at my local Dollar tree!
Kris says
Did you grab some of the dishes? I was at a different dollar tree, and I found matching coffee cups last week. I was pretty pumped!
Betty Draskinis says
i would not put trim, but this place mat can be used for anytime of the year by doing it in different colors.
Kris says
I totally wanted to make a red white and blue placemat, but time caught up with me…so now I’m thinking Christmas or Valentine’s. Then again another idea might come along and side track me. LOL
Betty Draskinis says
Meant no fringe lol
Candy says
Gorgeous placemat. I love the more square shape.
Kris says
Thanks Candy. I felt like the fringe would be too much if it were rectangular…so I’m pretty happy with the squarish size.

Marilyn says
This is so pretty, I think I’d be scared to actually use it and get food droppings all over it! I love it though!
Kris says
LOL…I’m actually the same way…when I sit down to eat, I pull it aside. My mom told me I was like her grandma Stella. She never used her pretty things, because she didn’t want them ruined. I guess I get it honest. LOL
