POKER KNITTING SET: placemats and coasters
In a previous post I showed you how to make some POKER COASTERS but forgot to include the pattern for the placemat in the photo. I was recently asked for it and, after some days of searching over 27 notebooks (I really need to start drafting pattern ideas in a digital way) I’m happy to report that I’ve found it! So now I can complete sharing with you my entire POKER KNITTING SET 🙂
You can find the introduction for the stranded colorwork tecnique and the 4 coaster patterns in the original post here —> POKER COASTERS

PATTERN DETAILS for the POKER PLACEMAT
FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Width: approx. 16.25’’ (40.5 cm).
Length: approx. 11.25’’ (28 cm).
Of course, this will vary if your tension is different than mine or if you decide to knit them with another yarn weight and needle size.
Tension / gauge
18.5 sts x 25 rows in stocking st with US 7 (4.5 mm) needles = 4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm)
Materials
- 1 straight needle US 8 (5 mm) for Casting on and Binding Off sts.
- 1 pair of straight needles US 7 (4.5 mm).
- Worsted yarn in green, red and black colors. OR fingering or sport yarn USED DOUBLE.
- Tapestry needle to weave in yarn ends and scissors.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) CO 75 sts with US 8 (5 mm) needles and green color yarn.
| I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight. |
2) With US 7 (4.5 mm) needles, work 4 rows in seed / moss stitch (see the stitch glossary at the end).
| Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border. |
3) Work 2 rows as follows:
4 seed / moss sts, 67 stocking sts, 4 seed / moss sts
4) Continue working as follows for the next 23 rows:
4 seed / moss sts, 2 stocking sts, HEART pattern (17 sts), 29 stocking sts, CLUB pattern (17 sts), 2 stocking sts, 4 seed / moss sts.
5) Work 13 rows as follows:
4 seed / moss sts, 67 stocking sts, 4 seed / moss sts
6) Continue working as follows for the next 23 rows:
4 seed / moss sts, 2 stocking sts, SPADE pattern (17 sts), 29 stocking sts, DIAMOND pattern (17 sts), 2 stocking sts, 4 seed / moss sts.
7) Work 2 rows as follows:
4 seed / moss sts, 67 stocking sts, 4 seed / moss sts
8) Work 4 rows in seed / moss stitch.
9) Bind off with US 8 (5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
