I taught myself to crochet around 10 years ago now whilst I was studying. At the time I was really into cross disciplinary work and I wanted to broaden my range of skills, but I found I really took to crochet, and since then I must of made thousands of granny squares for multiple uses. One of the things on my ever growing (thanks Pinterest…) list of objectives was a crochet fabric rug. They’re so easy and simple to make, and it’s a great use of that stash of fabric you are keeping because “one day” you’ll use it… USE IT NOW! If you aren’t a crazy craft hoarder you can up-cycle old sheets or curtains, or buy inexpensive cotton fabrics in a range of colours to create your rug.
I created this DIY crochet rug video for Hobzy that shows you how to prepare your fabric and some simple crochet stitches so that you can make yourself hundreds of rugs for every possible place and use in your home. Take a little look here:
