Malvern Bathmat


A knitted bathmat gives a wonderfully luxurious feel to any bathroom. They always feel so soft and welcoming after stepping from the bath or shower, protecting your feet from the cold tiles underneath.

The Malvern Bathmat is worked in a chunky cotton yarn in gentle shades of aqua and cream. The texture gives a lovely surface to step onto and the soft cotton is very absorbent.

The pattern is easy to work and includes three different sizes for showers, baths and dressing rooms.


Pattern Note: A pattern for a co-ordinating Spa set, the Malvern Spa Pillow & Mitt, is available separately.
