Pretty Simple Crochet Floor Mat Pattern

Add a handmade touch to your front entrance, the bathroom, or your bedroom area with this pretty, simple crochet floor mat. The crochet mat pattern is given in one size, but you can easily adjust the size as needed in the stitch multiple provided.

I added a few stripes, but this pattern also looks great in a solid color. Or, add even more stripes and use up leftover yarn from other projects.

If you plan on using this mat on a smooth floor, you’ll need to line it with an anti-slip backing to avoid any slips and falls.

How to Change Color

Work the last stitch in the previous row as normal until the last step and you have three loops left on the hook; drop the old color, pick up the new color, and draw through all loops to complete the stitch. 

Notes

When substituting yarn, choose a soft yarn that drapes well. Also, I found going up a hook size helps to give this stitch a lacier look and softer drape.

Beginning chains made at the start of rows and rounds do not count as stitches.
