Wiggly Crochet is a 3-dimensional crochet that was popular for making hot pads in the 1950s. Wiggly Crochet begins with a base mesh made up of chain stitches in the horizontal direction and double crochet stitches in the vertical direction. The 3-D aspect is added by working 3-5 double crochets over each bar of the mesh base. These double crochets are packed so closely together that they have no choice but to wiggle away from the mesh! 32 pages. You can purchase this book here.
I recently stumbled upon the Happy Gatherings Placemat pattern, and it immediately caught my eye as the perfect addition to my Christmas dinner table. The design is both charming and festive, which will enhance the ambiance of any holiday gathering.
Not only do I envision these placemats beautifying my table, but they also make a delightful gift idea! Pairing them with some elegant wine glasses and beautiful dinner plates would create a lovely gift box for friends hosting dinner parties this season. I’m excited to start this project soon and contribute to the festive spirit. You can check out the pattern here.
