Utilize stitch markers if you are a beginner. They help you track your progress and identify the precise spots for increases in later rounds, ensuring the placemat lays flat.
Special Features
The placemat’s special features are its striking, realistic appearance and its simple, repeating increase pattern:
-
Watermelon Slice Design: The use of three distinct color bands (Red, White, Green) perfectly mimics a slice of watermelon.
-
Simple Increase Pattern: You create the placemat using repeating increase rounds (adding one stitch to the cluster size each time: 2 dc, 3 dc, 4 dc) interspersed with special increase rounds (R5 and R9) to achieve a flat, circular shape without ruffling.

Pro Tip
Check your tension frequently by smoothing the placemat with your hands. If the work begins to “bubble” (bowl inwards), you may need to increase your hook size or add an extra cluster repeat to your round. If it begins to “ruffle” (wave at the edges), your hook may be too large, or you need to skip an increase round. Maintaining even tension ensures a perfectly flat sousplat.
