This placemat was made using a single strand of yarn, it was supposed to be made using two strands of yarn. Sometimes I miss things when I read a pattern. The coaster was made correctly. It placemat turned out really nice anyway. It took me a really long time to make these. I made one placemat the beginning of 2009, if I remember correctly. Then I finished the second one in November 2009, along with the coasters. I actually made three coasters because one of them was sent to T’s son with a Christmas package in 2009, so I made one to replace the one that was accidentally mailed.
