This program helps you visualize your placemat design. To knit your design, use this program in conjunction with the Woven Placemats Collection pattern.
These placemats use an innovative knitting technique that replicates woven fabric. There are fifty-six cables on this design; each starts at the bottom and travels up the mat. If the cable reaches the side, it changes horizontal direction and continues moving upwards.
Different designs are created by changing the colour of the cables. There are lots of different colour combinations possible (2 to the power of 56 to be exact) and each will create a different woven motif.
There are many beautiful designs. I hope you enjoy creating your own.
Instructions
This placemat is worked in 2 colours. The main colour (MC) is used on the edges and the woven motif. The contrast colour (CC) is used only in the woven motif.
The fifty-six cables are arranged in twenty-eight pairs. Pair 1 refers to the cables that start at the right end of the placemat; pair 28 refers to the cables that start at the left end.
Toggle between MC or CC to choose the colour of each cable. Press Draw Placemat to see your design. Press Continue Editing to make changes to your design. When you are happy with your design, press Create Pattern.
The Create Pattern feature is password-protected. The password is found in your Ravelry download of the Design Your Own Placemat purchase. You will also be asked for your email; please enter the email used to purchase the pattern.
