The Crochet Gratitude Table Mat is such a charming addition to any home decor! This handmade piece not only adds a pop of color to your table but also radiates the warmth of gratitude.

Imagine setting your favorite dish on this cheerful mat and being reminded of all the blessings around you. It's a simple yet meaningful touch that brings joy to every mealtime.
NOTES:
Read the pattern carefully before starting.
Ch 1 and Ch 2 do NOT count as a stitch.
[ ] work instructions within brackets as many times as directed
* * repeat instructions between asterisks as many times as directed or repeat at specified locations.
When you see a number after a stitch, it means working that stitch in the next number of stitches. For example, “DC 10” means DC into the next 10 stitches.
When you see a number before a stitch, it means to work that number of stitches in the same stitch. For example, “2DC” means place 2 DC into the same stitch.
Total stitches are indicated at the end of each round.
I recommend using a stitch marker to mark the 1st stitch of the repeat pattern (group). Remember to move the stitch marker as you progress.
This pattern uses US crochet terms.
