Round knitted mats were an inconspicuous attribute of each Soviet house 50-g. And almost all of our grandmothers knew how to knit such mats with their own hands from the remains of yarn. We can also make such a rug with their own hands, how carefully tied it from the new yarn and making it from the remains of yarn or knitwear.
The technology of manufacturing such a rug is simple: old sweaters are cut into strips and stitched into a long ribbon. We sew this tape into a narrow strip, turn it out there and we produce a thick rope into it. We turn the resulting long "sausage" in the circle and stitch the rings among themselves. The same rug can be made not only from knitwear residues, but also from pieces of any fabric:
Many needlewomen can knit amazing napkins. But, unfortunately, there are almost no places with such napkins in our house. We no longer decorate tables openwork tablecloths, do not knit beautiful capes on thick down pillows.
But your crochet craftsmanship can transform any pattern for a napkin into a pattern for an outdoor rug. And such mats made by their own hands will give our home charm and real comfort.
So that the rugs served you for a long service, they should be associated from the thick non-thinning yarn. If there are no yarn of suitable thickness, you can fold several times thinner yarn.
The usual width of such a rug - about one meter in diameter and weighs it about 1.5 kg. You can link the rug from the cheaper yarn, and then decorate it with elements from more expensive.
The solid rug knit is quite difficult due to its size and large size of the hook. Therefore, it is more convenient to connect separate small motifs, and then combine them into the rug.
Beautiful rugs can be associated from girlfriend. You can dissolve old knitted things and use these treads for knitting the rug.
Traditional round rugs were made from old unnecessary things, they cut them on squares and triangles filled-sheltered rug in a circle.
For this terry rug, we need to first tie a crochet round base with a diameter of one meter.
