Jack O' Placemats Pattern

I wanted really cool Jack O' Lantern placemats for my Falloween decor. I couldn't find any patterns that would work for what I wanted. Sooooo, being the crafty witch that I am, I created this pattern. If you make it, please let me know how it turns out.

This placemat is the perfect placemat for Autumn.

I would say that this is a confident beginner level pattern.

This pattern is worked in back and forth rows, then finished with a border in the round. If you would like it to be bigger, you can use thicker yarn, a bigger hook, or increase the number of border rounds.
