C2C Rainbow Placemat

This is a pretty easy project if you know C2C already. This took me less than 2 hours from start to finish including weaving in ends (and dealing with a giant yarn tangle). If you are observant, you’ll notice in the photo that the green stripe is one row less than the other colors, because I ran out! In the chart, the green stripe is the same size as the others. Just to point that out :)

I used worsted weight yarn and 6 mm hook. Depending on tension, finished object is approx 12” tall and 20” wide. You could put a fluffy white border on the outside to simulate clouds for a little extra something special.
