I'm pleased with this as I worked out how to get an oval by myself. There are probably patterns out there but I enjoyed working it out by myself. I tiled the floor too!!

hi Violetstone, nicely done, im into cloth yarn right now (tea towels/ dish cloth) this cotton yarn would be great for bathroom floor too.

Hi guys. Its not cotton yarn, its actually acrylic which doesn't work very well to absorb water. I would be interested in recycled toweling or something like that to make bathroom rugs with. I used a 15mm hook and super bulky doubled, one strand of white and one strand of solid or multi-coloured blue, randomly, expect for the last two rows which were solid blue. Thank you for your positive comments, it does look good and I feel proud when I see it on the floor.
