Bathroom mat

According to the recommendations of psychologists, from time to time you definitely need to change something in your life. You can start with something simple, for example, by updating the interior of a certain room. Let's try to transform the appearance of the bathroom by replacing the boring and worn out soft rug on the floor with a homemade product.

To create an original floor mat you will need:
• yarn of different colors (approximately 1.5-1.7 kg);
• knitting needles No. 3.5 or No. 4;
• hook for processing the edges of the product;
• thick needle for stitching parts;
• scissors.

When knitting, you can use both old yarn and threads purchased specifically for this case. It is more practical, of course, to use the first option. It’s great if you already have old yarn in mind. If you don’t find such threads in the house, you can do it differently - unravel a few unnecessary things.

Knitting rug: step-by-step guide.
The finished product consists of a certain number of alternating squares of several colors. The number of parts depends on the size of the carpet. We take turns making all the components for the soft bedding.To do this, cast on 36 stitches on the knitting needles and knit any pattern.

We chose the "Chess" pattern, in which the following sequence is repeated: 6 knit stitches, then 6 purl stitches.

All subsequent rows are knitted in the same way.

Having finished the eighth row, you should change the knitting order.

The edges of the finished parts must be processed using a hook and threads of the same color, knitting 1-2 rows around the perimeter of each square.

After this, you should thoroughly iron each part, giving all the pieces the same shape and size. The dimensions of knitted multi-colored squares may differ slightly from each other due to different thread thicknesses and knitting densities. The resulting parts must be laid out on a free area of ​​the floor in such a way that the squares made from different threads are successfully combined with each other. If you have a choice, it is recommended to place pieces of different colors next to each other, trying not to repeat each other. Having completed the preparatory work, you can begin sewing together the multi-colored pieces. To do this, you need to use threads of the same color that were used to decorate the edges of the parts.

Life advice.
It usually takes a long time to sew squares together. To reproduce the original appearance of the product, it is recommended to photograph the squares laid out on the floor. This will allow you to repeat the desired order without any problems.

rug design


There is very little left to do. Having firmly fixed all the parts together, you need to give the finished product an attractive look - cut off the excess threads, hide their ends where necessary. To finalize the rug, it is recommended to decorate it with fringe.

To do this, you need to cut a sufficient number of blanks - pieces of yarn of a certain length (10-12 cm) and secure them with a hook.
