As we head into the season of gathering, gratitude, and good food, I wanted to create something special for the table, a handmade touch that brings warmth to every place setting. The Table of Thanks Placemat is an elegant crochet design that adds a cozy, homemade feel to your Thanksgiving spread. Whether you’re hosting a full family feast or setting the table for an intimate dinner, this placemat is the perfect way to infuse your space with intention and handmade charm. It works up quickly, looks beautiful in fall-inspired colors, and makes your table feel just a little more meaningful. I’ll walk you through the written pattern below, and if you prefer to follow along visually, you can also watch the full step-by-step tutorial on YouTube HERE! Let’s add some gratitude-filled stitches to your holiday table!
