As l couldn't work on the new craft room rug..total frustration...l decided to make a new bath mat using the same 8 petal flower
mix 6 strands of DK...l used: aqua x2, grey,ivory x2 and beige Acrylic
SarahB..you wanted the pattern for a bath mat, beat you to it, great minds think alike hey?
Made one yesterday so here it is...
Pattern
3 strands of Chunky yarn or 6 strands of DK
12mm hook
Row 1: magic circle with 8 DC (3chain as first DC)(8sts)
Row 2: 2dc in each stich with a chain st between each (16sts)
Row 3: 2dc 3 chain and 2dc in each space
Row 4: 7dc in the loop made by the 3 chain of previous row and sl st in the middle of the 4dc of previous row
use the join as you go method of joining each of the flowers together using 2 petals for each join
Fill-in
the large hole is made up of the 8 petal sides..3 sts each making a total of 24 sts
Row 1: Magic circle with 12 dc (2chain as first dc)
Row 2: 2 dc in each stitch using the join as you go method of sl stitching into the 24 stitches of the petal sides then sl st into the first st to finish off
repeat in the second hole
l always work the ends into the work as l go so there is only a few ends to sew off
If you don't want to do the fill-ins then do a staggered join as you go
matching like this and using a similar method matching the stitches and sl stitching as you go
Hoping to get the craft room yarn today or order it if l can't
They really feel lovely under your feet
Teresa...yep l really am going to put it on the floor and walk all over it lol
Still thinking about the backing but something none slip as they slide all over the place on laminate floors

I hope that your bathmat won't cause you to lose interest in the rug. They look great, I really like the blue, it makes it seem cheerful. But I really, really love that crochet chair. Where did you come across that?
ReplyDeleteLooks great Suz but don't know how you will make it non slip.
ReplyDeleteMake sure you tell us when you do, as I'm sure you will sort it.
I really admire your skill

lovely bath mat; it looks cozy on the toes! that chair is amazing!!!! are you going to make one?
ReplyDeletegreat idea! why not use fabric paint that has a shape to it (sorry I'm french and don't know the right word...) to make non slip.
ReplyDeleteLove it, and especially that it's chunky and quick! Would love it if you'd drop by my crafty international linky party and share some of your great projects!
