Garter Stitch Bath Mat

I made this Garter Stitch Bath Mat and thought if anyone was interested in how I made it I would post the way I did it.


Garter Stitch Bath Mat
  1. I used 3 Skeins of Wool Ease Thick and Quick (318 yards total)
  2. Size 13 Needles
  3. Size N Crochet Hook
  • CO as many stitches as you wish for as long as you wish.
  • Knit every row till it is as big as you want.
  • Cast off, Leave a long enough tail to create a loop for crochet hook
  • Pick up your crochet hook and with the tail create your loop
  • Starting in the corner sc in each stitch around entire rug. Once.
  • Sc 5 times in corner and sc in each stitch around with 5 sc in each corner all the way around.
  • Cut yarn and fasten off. Tuck in all ends.
You can either buy a backing to sew on to the back or there is a brush on backing that you can buy also.
My family loves the one I make, it is absorbant and durable. I can throw it in the washer and dryer and it comes out looking good as new.
