LOVE THIS! Great texture and no gaps to stretch open when wet! Can’t wait to try it and some of your other patterns. Thank you!
p.s. This would also make a great trivet, hotpad, or placemat… or even a centerpiece or as textured ends on a plain table runner. Very versatile pattern! :)
p.p.s. Would also make a nice rug or bathmat (w a grippy mat underneath), a wonderful Snuggles Project cat mat for scrapbusting, or a nice, dense dish drying mat.
Thank you so much Jean! I appreciate your comments here and on Ravelry too! I'm in love with the hhdc stitch both in rows like used here and in the round too. I'd love to see pictures of your finished projects!
