DIY Area Rug

Now, instead of doing the usual crochet thing of creating a chain, jab the hook through your rugs. I lined up the edges of to rugs, and inserted through both edges. You will do a basic stitch by wrapping the yarn around the hook and pulling it through…and then wrapping it one more time to pull it through the remaining loops on the hook. You should wind up with only one loop on your hook.

Since my rug seam was kinda thick, I made sure to create one chain in-between stabbing through the rugs and doing a basic stitch.

So…..sc, ch 1, sc, ch1, sc, ch1…and so on!

I love the texture of the seam! It goes so well with the rag weave and fringe.

I used four rugs for this rug, but the sky is the limit. I used six rugs to create a large area rug for Evangeline’s room.

It is kind of nice knowing that you can make an affordable rug without having to spend hours crafting it from scratch. Ain’t nobody got time for that! Get thrifty this weekend!
