The striking design of this mat will add a touch of art deco nostalgia that never really goes out of style. It’s a good way to dress up any flat surface without the “frilliness” that is often common with doily designs.

The piece uses Breakaway Crochet techniques to work all of the motifs continuously, so no sewing and no yarn tails.

It’s also easy to alter the size and shape to suit your particular needs.

This is an interesting project that will give you new skills to learn. A video tutorial is available on YouTube to demonstrate the Breakaway Crochet techniques used.
