MOSAIC BATH MAT
Try out your new mosaic crochet skills and hook up this geometric bath mat by Becky Skuse.
Designer Becky Skuse says: “Freshen up your bathroom by using your new mosaic crochet skills to create this funky bath mat. The simple pattern is great for beginners and if you use a super chunky yarn like Hoooked Zpagetti, it will grow really quickly. The mat is a comfy treat for your feet when you emerge from the shower and it will dry swiftly. Get yourself a 12mm hook and a pair of contrasting colours for maximum impact and an easy way to get a sophisticated retro vibe.”
