Huck Lace Placemats


I completed these placemats several months ago, then got lazy on photographing and writing up the results of my weaving.  The placemats are made using 3/2 mercerized cotton for both the warp and the weft, so they weave up very quickly.  The recipe for these, Elegant Placemats, came from another of the free publications from Handwoven, Free Handweaving Projects for Beginners.  Four placemats could be made with a one pound cone of yarn, but since I wanted to weave up at least 6, I needed to buy 2 cones of yarn.  The only problem with these are the edges tend to pucker in the plain weave sections.
