Crocheted Geometric Bathroom Rug

Want to give your bathroom a unique look, extra comfort, and coziness? It couldn't be easier—just crochet a rug from materials you have on hand.

Such an interior element will help you add the perfect accent and can even visually transform a modest-sized room. For this purpose, interesting geometric solutions are used: the rug can be round, oval, rectangular, or any arbitrary shape. Today, I suggest crocheting a bathroom rug with a geometric pattern.

What materials are suitable for the project

First of all, decide how dense and firm you want your rug to be. For a soft and voluminous piece, you will need thick T-shirt yarn or homemade yarn made from old T-shirts.

For a firm rug with a massage effect, colored cord or rope is suitable. You can also crochet it from jute and combine it with other materials of similar thickness.

If you need a lightweight, quick-drying rug, choose acrylic or another durable yarn held in multiple strands.

A waterproof accessory can be made from plastic bag yarn—it is often used for crocheting scrubbies, market bags, and other useful small items.

How to choose a color scheme

If you have accumulated many unused balls of yarn at home, the easiest way is to crochet a bathroom accessory from what you have on hand. Combinations of Provence-style shades—light blue, dark blue, and white—look very beautiful. To dilute a solid-colored finish, you can choose contrasting shades, for example, white and red, or crochet a bathroom rug with a smooth transition from one shade to another.

Simple geometric patterns for crochet

The simplest method is a rug with colored circles; in this case, you crochet one or two rounds in one color, then change the yarn, and continue until you reach the desired diameter.

Small items are convenient to make using lazy jacquard; you can see how to do this at the link.

Another simple knitting method is the granny square. The rug can be "assembled" from small elements or crocheted as a single piece.

I like the idea of crocheting without floats on the wrong side, for example, using this pattern:

Row 1: Work single crochet (sc) stitches along a chain of foundation chains using color 1.

Row 2: 3 sc in color 1, the rest in color 2.

In subsequent rows, shift the pattern by 3 stitches in each row until all stitches are worked in color 1. It is convenient to use a marker for this to avoid mistakes. Then, repeat the work in reverse, i.e., leave the last 3 stitches unworked in row 1, 3 stitches in the second, etc., replacing them with color 2.

Shifts can also be performed in an arbitrary order and combined with stripes of different widths, which will help create a unique geometric pattern.
