Halloween is just around the corner so I decided to make some placemats. The pumpkin placemat will have my candy bowl on it for the trick or treaters along with the little witch lady I machine knitted using the Brother machine.
I made the witch placemat first and it really needs more color in it. I am happy with the pumpkin one though.
It took me FORRREVVVVVVER to get the distortion out of my designs. You are welcome to use these for your personal use but not to sell them as your pattern. I have written out the instructions on how to make these. They are around 10.5 inches high by 14 inches in width . I used 2/24 yarn and technique 183. On the directions for the pumpkin placemat I walk you through the whole process of downloading to knitting. I always do my cast on before I turn the console on. On the witch placemat it just gives the directions for the placemat. Both are the same but one has all the details.These patterns are odd numbers in width so you must center the design by programming 1- (minus) in the set up.
The information and both files are in my drop box link below.

Great work looks perfect. Thanks for sharing. I am having the ‘girls’ 12 of us for a Bunco group in November now I wish I picked October for our dinner. That would be a fun idea and I knit them a gift normally.

Thank you for the idea and the directions. Do you have the wincrea file or Dak file for these designs?

Hi Rita, it is a bmp file . I have DAK 7 and I am able to open bmp files. If you want me to change them to png files, let me know.
