Scrap Happy Drying Mat And Towel Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Scrap Happy Drying Mat And Towel

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

It's Scrap Happy Crochet Pattern Day. 

I designed the Drying Mat and Towel because 

I needed one. Yes, I do have a great dish washer,

 but there are always things that I want to wash and

 dry by hand. Like crystal glasses, cast iron skillets,

 and sharp chopping knives.

I wanted it to be made out of thick cotton, 

so, I used 2 strands held together. Once the items are dry,

 I can fold up the mat and place it in the towel drawer.

It's also thick enough to be used to dry some of the items, 

that I want to just quickly dry and put away.

I also wanted it to be designed with bright colors to 

match my kitchen style. I love it!

It stitches up so fast, and looks bright and cheerful

 when out on the counter.

It can be used as a table runner and placemat, as well,

Just by adjusting the size s needed.
