Double Knitting Pattern Placemat "London"

After a short break in Paris and Venetia, the lovely couple is ready for the next weekend trip – this time they spend exciting days in London! A sightseeing tour on the double-decker bus is mandatory, of course!
The motif is an absolute eye catcher on the laid table. And it is so much fun to see the picture develop while knitting.

This unique placemat is knitted in the Double Knitting Technique. Thus, it has two good looking sides and you can use it both ways.

Feel free to use the motif for any project you like - maybe for a pillow case? I'm looking forward to hearing from your ideas!

In this placemat series there are also the double knitting patterns for the placemats "Paris" and "Venetia" available in my store:
