Paris, the City of Love and beautiful buildings, is always worth a visit. As travelling sometimes isn’t possible, you can now bring Paris and the romantic mood into your home with this unique placemat.

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 "London" and "Venetia" available in my store:
