Fish Pet Mat

                    This is "my" (JMSQ) version of the Pet/Fish Mat...

Lillibet Lugo has made fish mats for cats & paw mats for dogs... They
are so cute so after seeing a photo, I thought I'd whip up my version
of this awesome pattern design and give Lillibet Lugo all the credit
due for inspiring me.. enjoy

WW Yarn - These Pet Mats are made up from left over yarn rolled into balls,
If your going to buy yarn to make a Pet Mat, buy 1 in varagated & 1 in plain
