Christmas Poinsettia Crochet Table Mat Pattern Outline

This image shows a layered poinsettia crochet table mat/doily made from separate motifs that are joined together. Because the image alone doesn’t reveal every stitch count or the hidden construction, I can’t accurately extract the original designer’s complete pattern. However, you can recreate a very similar piece using the outline below.

Materials

  • Cotton yarn:
    • Red
    • Sage Green
    • Cream/Off White
  • 3.5–4.0 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • Scissors

Components

1. Center Flower

  • Make a magic ring.
  • Round 1: 12 double crochet.
  • Round 2: Increase to create the flower base.
  • Round 3: Form 8 petals.
  • Round 4: Crochet a second layer of larger petals behind the first.
  • Round 5: Add pointed outer petals for a full poinsettia effect.

2. Holly Leaves

Make 8 identical leaves.

  • Chain approximately 10–12.
  • Work single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet.
  • Create pointed tips with picots or chain points.
  • Fasten off.

3. Red Leaf Branches

Make 8 branch motifs.
Each branch contains:

  • A center stem.
  • Five to seven pointed leaves worked on each side.

4. Cream Circular Base

  • Begin with a magic ring.
  • Crochet several rounds of double crochet.
  • Increase evenly to keep the circle flat.
  • Add decorative eyelet rounds.
  • Finish with a textured edge.

Assembly

  1. Sew the poinsettia to the center.
  2. Arrange the green holly leaves evenly around the flower.
  3. Attach the red branch motifs around the outside.
  4. Weave in all yarn ends.
  5. Block the finished mat until perfectly flat.

Finished Size

Approximately 35–45 cm (14–18 inches) depending on yarn weight and hook size.

Note: A complete stitch-by-stitch pattern cannot be reproduced from a single photograph because the image does not reveal the exact stitch counts, hidden joins, or construction used by the original designer. If you have the original pattern (PDF or link), I can help explain or rewrite it in detail.
