Rag rug
I had a few old, worn-out clothes lying around the place, so I decided to have a go at making a rag rug out of them. After much trial and error I just went with the simplest way of forming it which was to basically do a huge crochet circle!
It's really interesting working on a much bigger scale than usual, because you can see the stitches so much more clearly that it really helps with your crochet skills. The blue and beige bits are made from some old sheets and the middle is mainly socks! It's actually very comfy to walk on too!

This turned out great. I still have a chair pad made with this technique from years and years ago.
ReplyDeleteI remember my grandmother crocheting rag rugs. I love it when older techniques are updated and made stylish. Your rug is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to recycle! I like that you even used socks!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday! :)
Ooh really like how this turned out. How great that you are recycling socks!
ReplyDeleteThis is great, I love the soft pastels compared to the dark middle and border. It looks so soft and comfy. :)
