My little breakfast spot on our huge oaken table for a perfect start into a spring day: flowers, chocolate bunnies (I’m afraid they won’t live much longer) and a hand-knitted paper twine place mat. <\/p>\n

The place mat is easy to knit and thanks to the big needles I used it’s also quickly done so it’s fun to make a whole set of them (I only have to convince the boyfriend that a whole set of them is necessary!).<\/p>\n

Paper Twine Place Mat – How to knit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supplies:<\/strong>
\n– Circular Knitting Needles
\nGauge is not essential to this project nor is needle size.
\nI used size 9 (EU) \/ 13 (US) circular needles. A similar size would do as well but circular needles are highly recommended because the paper twine is quite slippery.
\n– Strong Paper Twine<\/a>. Depending on the size of the place mat about 80-100m \/ 90-110 yards.<\/p>\n

\nCast on 54 stitches (more for a bigger place mat) and work in stockinette stitch – 32 rows will make a nicely sized mat.
\nKeep the knitting rather loose.
\nAfter binding off loosely you have to block your place mat. Or in other words: soak it for a while in water, put it on an an even surface (preferably covered with a towel etc.) and stretch to all sides until you have the desired size. Let dry flat. <\/p>\n

Care Instructions:<\/strong>
\nBrush off any crumbs or gently shake the place mat. It can also be rinsed and even washed by hand – leave to dry flat as before after each rinsing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
