We've got a games room / office. It's mainly my husband's domain (especially now I'm on maternity leave so don't need to work from home) and we've tried to be a bit different with the decoration in that room. We've not actually finished it but we've painted a lime green feature wall that works really well.
We bought a nice desk for the room, but it's needed coasters for a while. I finally got onto that...
I'm really pleased with this design as it's quite plain, but still has a bit of interest. I didn't want anything too frilly or "girly" as we want the room to be a bit funky/cool.
The pattern I used is this one. But instead of using fingering weight yarn, I used King Cole Bamboo Cotton in DK (in 533 green, which I already had) and a 5mm hook.
After making one, I thought they were a bit big, and was tempted to remove a round. However, I like that it means the outside decorative edge design still shows when it has a mug on it, so I stuck with that size.
It's hard to capture the lime green correctly on camera - the first picture is probably the most accurate and the wall is more limey than it looks here.
It was fun to work on something quick and easy, after making a couple of blankets etc. It took hardly any time to whip these three up - most enjoyable!
