Southern Christmas Crochet Placemats!

I sat down earlier today and decided to crochet a Christmas placemat for the Christmas Season! I loved how it turned out and wanted to share with you. I didn’t have intentions of sharing the pattern, but a few of you wanted the pattern…so of course I’ll share with you!
