We’ve been using the Crochet Cat Mat for several years, and the time has come for a few of them to be replaced. Instead of stitching up the same pattern, I decided to try out the lemon peel stitch for the pet mat this time. And the result has been great! All 3 cats have been lounging on the new mat, so that means I’ve got to make a few more so no one feels left out.
