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!!
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:)
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, http://www.sandpoint.net/~rafter4/crochpttns.htm Here's another one with lots of patterns. http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/rugs.php
