Crochet a Lemon Farmhouse Placemat to decorate your Farmhouse home this summer. This placemat is the perfect accompaniment to your kitchen. Lemons are so cheerful and create a sense of happiness.
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 featured on this placemat.
It is an easy stitch that has so much texture. It reminds me of piles of lemons. It is the highlight stitch of the Lemon Farmhouse Placemat.
The fringe adds the finishing touch to the Lemon Farmhouse Placemat.
You will also find fringe on the Lemon Farmhouse Mug Rugs. I think fringe adds a special touch. The Nautical Placemats and Mug Rugs also have fringe and are free crochet patterns on this blog.
Lemon Farmhouse Placemat Crochet Pattern
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.
There are 8 crochet patterns in the Lemon Farmhouse series. I enjoyed designing this series and I am offering them in an ebook that can be purchased at RAVELRY or ETSY.
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)
Row 12:
By pass Row 11 & execute this next row into Row 10. You can see the top two loops of Row 10 behind the slp st’s of Row 11. Insert your hook under the top two loops. sc in 1st st, and in each st across; ch 1 & turn (43 st’s)
Row 13-26:
sc in 1st st, and in each ch across; ch 2 & Turn; At the end of Row 26, drop MC & pull up CC2 at the ch 1. Cut MC leaving leaving approx. a 6″ tail to weave in later, or to use as fringe.(43 st’s)
Row 27 & 28:
Repeat Row’s 11 & 12 consecutively.
Row 29:
sc in 1st st and in each st across; ch 1 & Turn Drop MC & pull up CC1 Drop MC (43 st’s)
Row 30-34:
Repeat Row’s 4-8 consecutively
Row 35-37:
sc in 1st st, and in each st across. End off.(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

Thank you so much Deb!
These are darling. Thanks. So Homey.
I love the colors you chose
Thank you Tammy!
Awesome pattern!
Thank you so much Lynne!
Love, love love it! I’m a “fringe” person. Can’t wait to make this. So versatile and for every accasion or season!
Thank you Juliana!
These are so cute!! I think I will change my kitchen to lemons
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.
I saw the dishes at my local Dollar tree!
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!
i would not put trim, but this place mat can be used for anytime of the year by doing it in different colors.
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
Meant no fringe lol
Gorgeous placemat. I love the more square shape.
Thanks Candy. I felt like the fringe would be too much if it were rectangular…so I’m pretty happy with the squarish size.
cute!
Thank you! It was a fun placemat to design.
Such a happy pattern!
It is a happy pattern….thank you!
Oh these would brighten up any kitchen & table!! Very fresh looking❤️
Yes they would! Thank you Cindy!
I love the colors you chose for these!
Thank you so much!

Love the pretty yellow in these placemats.

Yellow is my favorite color…so I have to agree.

Very cute love the lemon theme
Thank you!
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!
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
I love these placements! They are such a simple design but so elegant too. Thank you.
TY and your are so welcome Susan.

This is a complaint about your site. When I opened this free pattern as part of a blog hop, the very first pop up was to get a free pattern by joining your mailing list. The cancel “X” up the corner was not working. This is an issue for me because I have joined your mailing list in the previous blog hop. There is no reason to join a mailing list multiple times. Yes I had to complete the mailing list pop up just to get to this current pattern and the comment box. Please fix it.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention…I thought I had fixed this issue. I appreciate you letting me know. I turned off the pop-up. Hopefully I can get it fixed in the future. I am so glad to have you on my email list.
