The Go For Faux yarn is so soft it was begging for toes to be on it! So I made up this super cute rug. I’m loving diamond and triangle patterns right now so I wanted to make sure there were some great shapes included. I think this will look super cute beside the bed!
This rug wouldn’t be what it is without this faux fur yarn. I want to thank Lion Brand Yarn for sending me the yarn for this design! Be sure to head on over there to get your yarn!
