This bath mat will cost you the price of 17 balls of yarn. I think I could almost buy one at the store that would be less money. However, the whole point of this is to make it yourself, and make it personal. I would love to see a monogram somewhere on that bath mat. In a classic navy and white or gray and white, the neutral color choice would go good with anyone's decor.

I love the way this pattern looks. I am not a big fan of the green used in the picture, but I can imagine in different colors it would look fantastic. It does seem that there is an error in the pattern in step 4 of the edging, as stated in another comment, but it is one that if noticed early, isn't a problem. This will be a great fit for my bathroom and a great way to add more color.

This is turning out beautifully. However I'm sure there must be a mistake in the instructions. Edging step 4 says to ch 8, but the beg of that row is a ch 3. I had to redo this row and change all ch 8 to ch 3 to make it look right.
