Poinsettia Lazy Susan Mat

This Lazy Susan mat is fast and easy to make and would look good on any Christmas table! It can be made with other colors and the last 2 rounds omitted for use in an afghan if you like. Because it is an octagon, you would need to include small filler squares to make an afghan.
