About This Cranberry Snowflake Placemat and Napkin Ring Set Crochet Pattern Pattern
This table set has a round open-lace placemat in cranberry red with a white flower in the center, a ring of eight rounded petals edged in white, and a scalloped border with tiny picots. Three matching napkin rings, each with a cranberry and white flower and pine green leaves, complete the look.
The placemat is worked in the round from the center out, so every round builds on the last. The finished placemat measures about 12 inches across, and each napkin ring fits a standard cloth napkin.
Why You'll Love This Cranberry Snowflake Placemat and Napkin Ring Set Crochet Pattern Pattern
I love how the petals look soft and full while the lace around them stays light and airy. The cranberry red and white colors feel warm on a white table, and the little flowers on the napkin rings tie the whole set together.
Because the napkin rings are small, they work up quickly and make a lovely gift on their own.
Switch Things Up
Try the set in emerald green with gold snowflakes, or in navy and silver. Make a full set of four or six placemats by repeating the pattern, and make one napkin ring per guest.

Assembly Instructions
- Block the placemat flat and pin out each picot so the border lies smooth. Let it dry fully.
- Close the center of the placemat by pulling the beginning tail of the white center flower tight and weaving it in.
- Sew the white center of each napkin ring flower in the middle of the white flower.
- Sew each flower to the front of a napkin ring band, then sew two sage leaves behind each flower so they peek out on both sides.
- Weave in all remaining ends and slide a cloth napkin through each ring.
Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them
Pulling the ch-6 spaces in Round 6 too tight, which makes the placemat cup instead of lie flat.
Skipping blocking, which leaves the picots curled. Pin them out as the placemat dries.
Sewing the flower on before closing the napkin ring, which makes the band hard to seam.
Switching hook sizes between pieces, which changes how the set looks side by side.

Important Notes
Gauge does not need to be exact, but keep the tension even so the placemat stays flat.
Cotton yarn holds the petals and picots best.
Hand wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry.
I hope this cranberry red flower set makes your table feel a little more special. Happy hooking!
