Crochet Dining Table Mat

Save this pattern for later!

A delightful and sweet crochet dining table mat that needs very little concentration to make, so you can sit and crochet it while the diner is cooking lol. It is made using a simple shell and vst design and then edged with a flurry of more shells to give it a pretty appearance.
