I agree with everyone – this pattern looks nice and easy. It should do very well in my bathroom.

Also, I just read a tip in my Crochet World that you can use a hot glue gun on the back of your rug to keep it from slipping – I guess it’s okay to wash..?

Hi Rachel/all:

With a project in mind and no appealing pattern (until now) to use, I’m happy to report I’ve completed it with this one.

I made a 24 long x 20 wide version of this pattern as a bathroom rug for my tub/shower entrance, with 6 skeins of Lily’s Sugar and Cream in light blue.

For the job I want it to do and after some testing, I found crocheting with a double strand produced a thicker rug.

Nice, easy pattern and it looks good. Not bad on the feet either.

Thank you very much for this no fuss pattern.

Hi Barbara! I am feeling better, thanks!
You can definitely make the rug more colorful if you want. If you change colors at the beginning of a row and just weave in the loose end in back of the rug, it should be pretty neat! You can felt it as well and since you’ll put something under it shouldn’t slip anyway. Have fun with it

Hope you are feeling much better, Rachel. Like Colleen said, thank you for sharing all your wonderful ideas and patterns with us. Your rug pattern came at a good time as I want to replace my boring bath mat with a colorful handmade bath rug. Do you think a rug with different colors of stripes could be made using your pattern? How would I hide the color changes so it would look neat? I have visualized stripes in cream, gold, brown, pale yellow (the colors of the wall and fixtures) with stripes of a bright rust and light teal (the last two colors to pick up colors from Japanese prints on the bathroom wall and to add a little pop. Would a felted rug be too slippery or would it matter as I’ll be adding something to the back anyway?

Hi Rachel,
I love the simplicity of this pattern and it can be used in every room. The rubber shelf liner is great for adding w/o attaching it to the rug.
Thank you,
Sherry

Hey Monique!
It might cause less slipping, I’m not actually sure. But I do know what with cotton it won’t be as stretchy, so that can be a good thing
