Make six placemats, one of each color given in the materials list:
Create your foundation chain by working 57 chain stitches in a row.
To complete Row 1, work 1 single crochet stitch (sc) in the second chain from the hook, then work 1 single crochet stitch in each chain across the row.
You should have 56 complete single crochet stitches.
Turn your work, then chain 1 for the single crochet turning chain to prepare for the next row.
To complete the next row, work 1 single crochet stitch in each stitch across the row.
You should have 56 complete single crochet stitches.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until you have 42 rows on your work.
Fasten off your yarn.
