What you need to know

Make Nicki Trench's stylish striped mats with cutlery pockets, perfect for summer picnics.

Knit a set of striped mats for your spring or summer table. Made in a cotton yarn used double-stranded throughout, each placemat features a handy little pocket for your cutlery. These mats are also perfect for summer picnics, as they don’t crease and roll up easily to slip into a hamper. If you can, find someone with a Vespa to take you on the picnic and be transported into a world of Italian vintage glory!
