2. Pattern use ideas

You can adjust the size of the mochi by using a larger crochet hook or the size of the yarn.

3. Crochet pattern

Part 1: Square.

R1: MR with 8sc.

R2: 1slst to end R1, chain 1, [3sctog] into the 1st stitch (always mark the center stitch), repeat 3 times (16).

R3 – n: Each stitch is a sc. For the center stitch (marked), crochet [3sctog] into the same stitch. 

You can adjust the square size by adding more rows. Here, I have crocheted 5 rows and made 8 white and 8 pink pieces.

Arrange the pieces in a checkerboard pattern and sew them together.

Part 2: Border of Square

(Start with simply yarn in color 05)

Slip stitch into any stitch, skip 1, crochet [6 dc] into the 3rd stitch, skip 1, slst into the 5th crochet, skip 1, [6 dc] into the 7th stitch, repeat around until the entire table mat is covered.

Part 3: Bow 

(Start with YarnArt yarn in color 03)

Small: crochet X chain, depending on the length of the bow you want (I crochet 55 chains).

Tie it to the table mat.

Big: Chain X to fit your vase, skip 2, 1 dc into every stitch until the end, cut and hide the yarn.
