I have been inspired to make a 'rag rug' from reading some posts on this site! I have always wondered how to do this...So I am gonna jump in and try it! So far, I have found a piece of an old faded sheet...and tore it into strips and wrapped it into a ball....now on the hunt for more old material....Sounds like a trip to Goodwill this afternoon!! Wish me luck! After I have material gathered up....how do I start though? Do I make a 'chain' like in chochet? Or is there another and better way to start? Thanks for any suggestions!!  |

Hey farmer sister
Look at the blog "Plain Pam" she has good instructions on crocheting rugs! I use sheets from the thrift store!
Good luck

I just finished my first one! They sure do gobble up the material fast. I just followed MJF instructions in the Stiching and Crafting Book. If you don't have it, there are instructions for free on a lot of websites. I will try to find one and post it here.
This one is very informative,

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good luck...you should have some luck at Goodwill finding material to use. I want to learn how to make rag rugs too...but just don't have the time right now. When I am settled after our move, I am going to teach myself how to make them...can't wait to see how your creation turns out. Erica:) |
