I used Drops Paris yet again largely because I know exactly what I am going to end up with. I know from experience that my stool covers and step cover get a great deal of daily use, which means they are often hanging on the washing line and always come out looking like new. A shower mat is something that you want to wash often so this is the perfect yarn for the job. It has already been washed and as expected it came out looking even better than when it went in.
So basically it is 29 hexies all sewn together or join as you go and you end up with a rather lovely shower or bath mat.
In fact we are loving it so much that I will soon have to make one for the bath room. They really don't take that long to throw together (if you ignore sewing in those pesky ends!).
A short and sweet post today. Wishing you all a fantabulous day!
Warm Wishes

it's beautiful! I love those colours and it looks so stylish :)
ReplyDeleteIt's really lovely, I'm always inspired by this kind of pretty and colourful crochet. I really need to learn how to do this stuff. I'd happily make one for our bathroom if I could. CJ xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea Hannapat, I love it, and tell you what, you won't find a pretty mat like this in the shops! How lovely too on cold winter mornings to be cheered by such radiant colours. Tops!
ReplyDeleteLoads of love coming your way and big hugs, Joy xoxo
Wow, I love it! What a neat design and the colors are lovely. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, and good to know that it washes and wears so well as that is very important isn't it. I agree about the ends, very pesky indeed!!! xx
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's terribly good for the soul to have a little crochet in every room in the house. Wishing you a beautiful week xx
ReplyDeleteDear Hannapat

ReplyDeleteAww, love it!! So pretty and such a sweet handmade touch to your bathroom!! I might need to put that on my to-do list and a kitchen one, too! ;) Have a wonderful week dearest! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteIt looks pretty on the floor but even better hung up over the shower door. Well done my friend.

This is beautiful! I've been needing to make a new showermat for the girls' bathroom - the crocheted one I made a few years ago is looking terribly worn - and this is just the ticket! I love the Drops recommendation as well, I bet it is ideal for the job! Thanks so much for sharing this, I think my next WIP has been decided...Chrissie xxx
ReplyDeleteHello lovely! This is absolutely fantastic! I love it, a great idea and I like all the pretty colours you have used. Wishing you a very lovely week.

I really like that! I saw a pattern for a single colour white or grey hexie shower mat, very like that one, and have wanted to make it ever since. x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and so colourful.
