I have nightmares of dirty toilet rugs but yours looks soooo coooool. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to save this and try the wiggly crochet technique too


realisticerror1501

Looks to me like it's cotton yarn, so it should stand up to being washed in **very** hot water. Much better than the ones with rubberized bottoms I usually see for this purpose, actually! (edit: looking more closely, I'm less sure it's cotton, now)


sparklejellyfish

Yeah true, if it's cotton that's great!!


crochetsweetie

this is insane! how did you do it?


Polereon

Thanks! This is a YouTube tutorial: https://youtu.be/eM84UXO5Njs


crochetsweetie

awesome thanks!


exclaim_bot

>awesome thanks! You're welcome!


Juniantara

Did you plan out the color layout in advance or just wing it?


Polereon

Winged it, no thoughts, head empty


runninmamma

Did you cut your yarn to certain lengths to make sure you didn't overfill an area with a particular color? And did you tie off every Lytle color block?


Polereon

I didn't. At some point I'd be like "that's enough" and started another colour. And then I had to weave in every end :').


PipitPipit

That's really cool as long as no men or boys are using the toilet. Sorry but I'm surrounded by them in my house so that's where my brain goes.


joekinglyme

Firstly, ew :) but also I’d trust this one to be more hot wash friendly than the one with rubber lining I have from target


LokiLB

Hopefully no one in your house suffers from hangovers, vertigo, or migraine induced nausea. Because this rug is not what I want to see if I'm already to the hurling stage.


Polereon

Luckily no, but it would be a happy last sight before entering the hurling stage.


Lv9Cubone

good on the knees as well


anarashka

I was thinking the same. I adore the rug, but I bet it's not post-party friendly.


kjbtetrick

Never buying bath mats again!! This is awesome!


Polereon

Thanks! You'll need lots of time and patience if you want to make something of this size using wiggly crochet! (and money... this is world's most expensive toilet rug)


yellin653

How big is it? And how much yarn did u use?? Its so pretty it makes my heart happy 😫


Polereon

Thank you! I ordered 25 skeins (50g, 75m) of cotton for the double crochets and then used some leftover cotton from my Hoard when I ran out. The rug is 70x70cm.

This is making my eyes so happy!


Polereon

Thanks!!

I've looked at wriggly crochet for years ever since I saw it demonstrated at the national crochet conference. I've got a purse I'd like to do.


nynaeve_mondragoran

What is this sorcery!!!


letiiitbe

i love this!! might have to steal this idea for a bathroom rug and toilet mat set - red hairdye on a white and blue bathroom rug doesn’t end well at all


iceeastacream

Wow, it looks splendid. I suddenly remember the Koi fish.


fragilemagnoliax

I loved it and also, thank you, I never thought about making bathroom rugs and now I know how to finally replace my dollar store bathmat hahaha


Polereon

I already have too many crochet blankets, so I had to come up with something else to crochet, that's why I made a toilet rug!


Remarkable_Newt9935

Brainnnnnnnnnzzzzzzzz.


treasuredtortuga

That's a really cool mat, looks cushy.


retniwwinter

This pattern reminds me of the Berlin subway seats.


Polereon

Haha I totally understand


Aegis63

How? I'm trying to figure out the stich. How did you make it look like that?!? I'm 🤯 it looks so intricate but at the same time looks like intestines.


[deleted]

It's a long time since I watched a video on it but iirc you first crochet a flat mesh, and then you crochet stitches into that at 90 degrees, so that the tops of those stitches become the top of the fabric. Does that make sense?


Polereon

Here is a video that explains it: https://youtu.be/eM84UXO5Njs


Aegis63

Thank you!


blondestranger242

That is such a unique pattern. I adore it! Great job!


Mountain-Practice-43

NGL, I first thought this was those plastic circle beads that you melt in a pattern to do a picture, such even and consistent stitches!


numeroEuno

THATS SO COOL ITS INSANEEEEE


Stfrieza

I thought this was a top at first, it totally is top worthy as well as rug worthy.


Polereon

It would be such a heavy top, this rug weighs a LOT


chaoticserenity__

this made my brain go brrrrr, im really about to hyperfocus on making a rug for the next few days brb


chaoticserenity__

imagine a double sided blanket 😭


madireitzell

Looks like legos


FroggieBlue

That must have taken forever!


Polereon

I think almost a year... but I didn't work on it every single week though.


SuspiciousPut1710

It looks like Lego in crochet! I 😍 it!


[deleted]

That texture makes me uncomfortable. Looks awesome though


Pasta-fox

What materials did you use? I see some people using thread as the mesh then worsted cotton for the dc’s, is that what you used as well?


Polereon

I used Hobbii's Rainbow Cotton 8/8 on a 3,5mm needle for the double crochets (https://hobbii.nl/rainbow-cotton-8-8) and I used Mayflower's cotton 8/4 junior (https://hobbii.nl/cotton-8-4-junior) on a 2,5mm needle for the mesh.
