Crochet: The Bold & The Beautiful is a little project
I made over the weekend.
Inspired by a recent purchase
& helped along by
the Eurovision Song Contest,
I now have lovely collection
of placemats.
(Thank you Finland, Denmark & Iceland!)
If you haven't already guessed it, my recent
purchase was a lovely set of
Juicy
dessert plates by Sagaform.
They are the brainchild of Swedish Designer
Lotte Odelius.
I love her design,
it's simple but Bold & Beautiful.
The doily pattern I used is from one of my lovely
Japanese crochet books.
I know what you are thinking,
when will this love affair with all things Japanese end?
err…NEVER!
(we've swapped friendship bands and eveything)
The gorgeous yarn is
Creative Cotton (Aran).
by Rico Design
Rico Design
have loads of delicious colours to choose from
and it's incredibly easy to work with,
I used 4.5mm hook.
There you have it…The Bold & The Beautiful
(placemats).
What do you think?

They’re beautiful, Heidi! Great pattern and colors. Must admit I love Japanese things too.
They look so pretty Heidi. I like the way you’ve managaed to match the colour of the doilies perfectly with the colour on the plates.
I love Rico Creative Cotton too. I really need to get some more of it. It’s so versatile.
Wonderful rainbows of colour everywhere! May your love of Japanese crochet never ever die!
Thank you all for your lovely comments! 😀

I think I would love to know which japanese pattern book you found this delightful pattern in. I’m a pattern addict/crochet addict/yarn addict/hook addict (yes, am hooked on hooks!).
These are gorgeous. Well done!

Thank you for the response. You do LOVELY work. Have fun learning Tunisian crochet, too! I’ve been learning that this year, as well.
I love the bright colours. Do they wash well? If its cotton yarn does it hold it’s shape?
