Super-Bulky Placemat – Free Knitting Pattern

Completed Super-Bulky Placemat from the Free Knitting Pattern in Wool-Ease Thick and Quick Bluegrass a teal blue color.

This super-bulky knit placemat is intentionally designed as a first knitting project and has been used successfully by kids and adult beginners learning to knit. The pattern limits techniques to one stitch (garter stitch), uses a flat rectangular shape, and works with thick yarn so stitches are easy to see and common beginner mistakes are avoided. There is no shaping, no stitch pattern changes, and no decisions to make once you begin knitting.

This article explains how to knit a super-bulky placemat, with step-by-step instructions suitable for complete beginners. You will knit a simple rectangle in garter stitch (knit every row), then bind off and weave in your ends to create a sturdy, usable placemat.

About This Super-Bulky Knit Placemat

The super-bulky placemat is Project 2 in the guided kids’ lessons here at PurlsAndPixels.

This placemat is designed to feel simple and doable. You will repeat the knit stitch over and over, and the fabric will grow quickly because the yarn is thick. When you are done, you will have a sturdy placemat you can use at the table, for crafts, or as a cozy landing spot for snacks and hot cocoa.

This pattern is knit flat in garter stitch (knit every row). There is no shaping, no color changes, and no tricky steps. It is a great way to practice tension and learn how to make neat edges.

Materials

Knitting Needles

16-inch (41 cm) long US No. 13 (9 mm) circular needle (or size needed to obtain gauge)

Yarn

Two 106-yard (6-ounce) skein of super-bulky (No. 6) yarn* (shown in Wool-Ease Thick and Quick by Lion Brand Yarn “Bluegrass”), in your choice of color).

  • One placemat uses approximately 123.7 yards (7.0 oz. or 1.2 skeins)

*Weights estimated with Wool Ease Thick & Quick by Lion Brand Yarn; other yarn weights may vary.

Notions

Gauge

10 stitches x 18 rows = 4 x 4 inches in Garter Stitch on No. 13 (9.0 mm) needles. Gauge is typically measured in stockinette stitch, but this project uses garter stitch throughout, so gauge is measured in garter stitch to reflect the finished fabric. Exact gauge is not critical for this project.

Skills used

This super-bulky knit placemat is a great first flat project because it is simple, fast, and easy to see as it grows.

To make the super-bulky knit placemat, you’ll only need to know how to:

If you need help, there are instructions and video tutorials here on PurlsAndPixels for every step you’ll take.

This placemat is knit in garter stitch, which means you will knit every stitch in every row. Repeating the same motion over a wide piece like this is a great way to build confidence and get comfortable with even tension across the row.

Try to keep your stitches snug, but not tight. They should slide easily on the needle so you can insert your needle into each loop without forcing it. This pattern is a simple place to practice finding that balance.

Chunky Ghost Hat Free Knitting Pattern

Learn to knit fast and easy ghost hats with the PDF knitting pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels.

by Liz Chandler @PurlsandPixels

Looking for a fast and festive knit? The Chunky Ghost Hat Free Knitting Pattern is a cozy, one-hour project perfect for Halloween or chilly fall days. Made with super bulky yarn and big needles, this hat is soft, spooky, and surprisingly simple. Knit one while you settle in with your favorite scary movie and a warm drink.

One time, when I was little, my dad was put in charge of Halloween costumes. He showed up to the store late, and the only thing left were clown wigs. My brother and I were terrified for all the wrong reasons, but we wore them anyway. They were itchy, plasticky, and ridiculous. This hat is for anyone who’s been there: short on time but still determined to have some Halloween spirit. 👻

Candy Pillow Toy – Free Knitting Pattern

Knit candy pillow toys made with the free knitting pattern shown on natural surfaces.

This super-bulky candy toy pillow is intentionally designed as a final confidence-building project for beginner knitters and has been used successfully by kids and adult beginners completing their first series of knitting projects. The pattern limits techniques to the knit stitch, uses simple tube construction worked in the round, and works with thick yarn so stitches remain easy to see while reinforcing consistency over a longer piece. There is no purling, no stitch pattern changes, and no shaping during the main body of the project.

This article explains how to knit a super-bulky candy-shaped toy pillow, with step-by-step instructions suitable for complete beginners. You will knit a tube in the round using only the knit stitch, stuff the pillow, and tie the ends closed to create a soft, playful toy pillow that feels substantial and rewarding to finish.

Yarn

One 106-yard (6-ounce) skein of super-bulky (No. 6) yarn* (shown here in Wool-Ease Thick and Quick by Lion Brand Yarn “Hudson Bay” and “Bluegrass“), in your choice of color).

About This Beginner Super-Bulky Knit Coaster

This simple knit coaster is intentionally small, forgiving, and repetitive. As Project 1 in my Kids’ Knitting Guide, the beginner super-bulky knit coaster introduces how knitting feels in your hands and how stitches stack row by row, without asking beginners to switch stitches or manage complicated shaping.

Using super bulky yarn allows new knitters to see each stitch clearly and finish projects quickly. The goal is not perfection, but comfort and familiarity with the knitting process.

Single-Row Striped Scarf Free Knitting Pattern

Learn to knit single-row striped scarves with two colors of yarn in this free knitting pattern by Liz Chandler @PurlsAndPixels.

by Liz Chandler @PurlsandPixels

Most stripe patterns make you cut the yarn after each row, turning your scarf into a fringe-factory. But if you’re looking for a way to knit stripes without cutting yarn, here’s the secret: slide your stitches to the other end of your circular needles between rows. This simple trick lets you keep both yarns attached and alternate rows cleanly, with no snipping required.

This striped scarf is quick to knit, easy to memorize, and uses just two yarns to make a bold, modern accessory. It’s beginner-friendly but feels a bit magical when you get it right.
