How To Style The Picot Placemat
Here are some of my favorite ways to style The Picot Placemat and Doily Set! I keep the doily on my tabletop year round, and have a wooden tray on top, that holds a plant, candle, and candy dish.
Yarn
The Picot Placemat Crochet Pattern is written using size 6 super bulky yarn. I prefer Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick and Quick. The colors shown are Fossil and Grey Marble.
I’ve also used Bernat Maker (two strands held together). The gauge may be smaller, about 4 – 4 ¼”, creating a slightly smaller end result as shown on the top placemat in the photo below. Colors shown throughout are Cream, Clay, and Lichen.
I love Bernat Maker they recently re-branded and have a bunch of new colors! I’m hoping it’ll be easier to find, now that it was re-branded, but It’s been hard to find in the past, so I suggest stocking up when it’s available.

Cute Tags
I received these cute Easter themed tags from Savlabot on Etsy. They look adorable on the Lil Bunny Baskets as well as The Picot Placemat crochet pattern. Savlabot uses vegan suede tags, some are sew on, and some are screw on. She makes amazing seasonal tags, and I believe she also accepts custom designs.
I’ve used the mini (shown below) and large, rivet style tags from her shop. The colors featured below are Caramel, Latte, and Tawny. They are attached with Chicago Screws, which I purchase on Amazon. I get the 5x10mm in the color Bronze.
