has anyone made the bath mat? let me know what u think! at belendiafrench@yahoo.com thanks knitters!
I think I'll do this in cotton, because it's less slippery. Does 12A mean to knit 12 stitches in color A?
Here are the other patterns

I thought we had the other patterns, but now I can't seem to find them. With over 2500 projects I lose them very easily :) I'll keep looking and post the link here when I find it.
Are the patterns for the other 2 items available?
i also would like to have the patterns for all three :)
I would like a pattern for all three of these bath items. It would make great gifts.
I would like the patterns for the other pieces also. Where can we get them?

@ Bren - I believe that "Patt 12A" means that you work 12 stitches in the established pattern in color A, which in the pictured example would be the beige. Hope this helps! Angela
I haven't tried this yet, but I sure plan on making it. I would like to have the pattern for all three pieces though. Do you have them? Thank you so much in advance. Barb from Minnesota
I'm thinking the yarn to use would be cotton. I don't think it would slide around like an acrylic
I found this pattern on your site. Only one rug pattern was there. I would like to make the complete set of three. How can I get these designs? Please e-mail me with the information. Thanks in advance,

what does the 12a stand for not sure what that means..bren
Thank you so much. I really like this pattern. Is acrylic yarn ok to use for this pattern ?
love the pattern was good to make
I love the mat love it
I'm looking forward to trying this pattern. There were comments made on here about the colour scheme, however you can do the colours anyway you want to match your bathroom. I can't stand store bought mats.
bad!
I give it 5 stars. This is a great patterns set.
modern, useful, restful to the eye
Love this mat.
the pattern does not say what kind of yarn to use, wool? acrylic? worsted weight? sport? bulky?
deen to tell us all of them
I don't think the comments section is for you to comment on your own personal tastes. It is to comment on the project overall. Just because you don't like it doesnt mean every one doesnt.
The pattern is helpful but the way the stripes and such are done is unattractive. A new color scheme with different presentation would make it more appealing
