This uniquely asymmetrical design blends lusciously squishy brioche with smooth garter stitches, resulting in a cozy mat with a mitered knit edge perfect for meditation or yoga practice. The pattern includes both a meditation mat size and full yoga mat size which can also be used as a chunky wrap scarf or small blanket. Practice knitting techniques like garter stitch, purling, brioche stitch with increases and decreases, and incorporating breathing techniques to enhance focus and relaxation.

Note: Liza makes a small sample size in class that is 8" x 6". The meditation mat size is about 25" x 29" and the yoga mat size is about 25" x 58". Work the yoga mat size by doing more rows.
