This pattern makes a lovely pet mat (2 sizes), bath or bed-room mat, or mud rug for your backdoor. The waffle stitch provides comfort without any stuffing to tear apart (my dog loves to tear apart stuffing). Bernat Blanket yarn works up quickly and adds to the level of comfort in the final product. It is easy to wash and looks good with any décor. The waf-fle st uses front post double crochet and is a great stitch to learn if you haven’t already worked it.
