The skeins are 50 grams, 110 yards. I bought 3 skeins as the pattern said 300 yards. I had a bit of the third skein left. My finished size is just over 7" x about 42".
This for Christmas at Sea and I used their approved pattern for a crocheted Mariner's scarf.
I am currently working on another scarf from those patterns. The best time to send them items is in the fall according to the page.
As I had a break in the items that had deadlines and while waiting for the wool to come in, I finished the last placemat.
Details...
Yarn used is Knit Picks CotLin Pomegranate, Ivy, Linen, and Eggplant.
Size is about 12" x 18". They are meant to be used with the stripes positioned vertically.
The foundation chain is 60. I used my seed stitch pattern and worked 93 rows. If you want the stripes to go horizontally just use a longer chain and work fewer rows. I would guess about 100 but you'll have to try it to see.
I used a G hook.
Each row takes about 3 yards of yarn. I estimate that 300 yards of each color is needed for the set. Of this particular yarn, that would be 3 skeins each. I used 2 skeins to make the three placemats but remember that they're not bordered. I do have a little left of each color.
I used the Fibonacci and Lucas number sequences to determine what color to use when.
Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5. Lucas sequence is 2, 1, 3, 4, 7.
Fibonacci #1 uses the color order red, green, tan, purple.
Fibonacci #2 uses the sequence green, red, purple, tan.
Lucas #1 uses the sequence red, green, tan, purple.
Lucas #2 uses the sequence green, red, purple, tan.
I do have the pattern sheets written out but I don't have means to add them to the web site at this time as the program I used is no longer supported. That's a long, complicated story. :-) After it's tweaked I may add it to Ravelry.
Happy crocheting!
