I made it just big enough for your bathroom or your kitchen sink. With working 4 strands of yarn together can you imagine how soft this would feel under your feet? My piggys liked them :)
(my nail polish color is Randi it girl by Julep, Im totally in love with there colors and all the different colors they have to choose from) Since my daughter was sick we have gotten a monthly box from them, Its our own little way of keeping happy every month. Its something special for her and I, something that we can do together. So far we have gotten quite a lot so far.
I hope you all enjoy this pattern.

HOOKS; P(11.5mm) & Q(15.75)
Stitches Used:
Ch: chain

Special Notes:
1.Always join to first stitch made.
2.always work your first stitch in joining space, unless specified otherwise.
A little tip from me to you: I usually try to find my yarn with a tail (an end coming out the center of the ball) it keeps things neater but you could always toss all the balls you're working with in a thirty-two tote or a basket. Don't pull a big pile of yarn out, it could get tangled easy.
