Product Description
This pretty and functional mat is great for the bathroom, dorm room, kitchen, nursery, or anywhere you want to brighten up a room! This easy crochet project is great for beginners. If you're new to crochet or consider yourself a beginner, I think this is a good project to start with. It's easy to follow and the stitch pattern is a basic circle, a good skill to know for a crocheter. Plus, we use jumbo yarn and a big hook, so it goes by pretty fast.
As written, the rug comes to 26" diameter, however there are instructions at the end to tell you how to make it bigger if you want (you'll need more yarn).
The PDF includes a link to the step-by-step video tutorial. There is a free version of this pattern and link to the video on my blog. This listing is for the ad-free PDF.
Stitches used: chain, double crochet, slip stitch
Quick & Easy Rug by Jen Dwyer
What is Being Made
The Quick & Easy Rug is a beginner-friendly crochet mat designed to add functional beauty to any room. This versatile project works perfectly as a bathroom mat, kitchen rug, dorm room accent, or nursery addition. The pattern creates a pretty and practical piece that brightens up living spaces with minimal effort and time investment.
Craft and Primary Technique
This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. Crochet is an accessible fiber craft that uses a single hook to create interlocking loops of yarn, making it ideal for beginners. The Quick & Easy Rug demonstrates why crochet is perfect for quick projects—the simple pattern structure allows crafters to complete a finished, functional piece without complex shaping or advanced techniques.
Stitches and Construction
The pattern follows straightforward crochet instructions that are easy to follow for those new to the craft. The design is intentionally simplified to ensure accessibility for beginner crocheters. The pattern includes customization options, allowing makers to adjust the mat size beyond the original dimensions by following the expandable instructions provided in the pattern.
Materials and Tools
Crochet Hooks: The pattern calls for a size 15mm crochet hook as the primary tool, with a 9mm hook reserved for weaving in yarn ends.
Yarn: This project uses super chunky weight yarn (jumbo #7 weight), which creates quick results and bold texture. The original pattern specifies Bernat Maker Big yarn in three coordinating colors: deep teal (C1), ivory (C2), and turquoise (C3). One skein of each color (66 yards per skein) is required for the mat as shown. Crafters may substitute any jumbo weight yarn in their preferred colors while maintaining the same yardage and hook size for consistent results.
Difficulty Level
This pattern is rated as beginner difficulty, making it an excellent first crochet project or a quick make for experienced crafters. The simple construction and straightforward instructions mean that even those picking up a crochet hook for the first time can successfully complete a beautiful, usable rug.
