Bedside rug made from old knitted hats

We are for using things wisely, so we suggest you consider the option of a bedside rug made from old knitted hats. There are no costs, since the hats have long since lost their marketable appearance and just take up space in the closet. And the process is so exciting that even children will enjoy working with the alteration.

What will you need?

To work you will need 3-4 old yarn hats. You also need to stock up on a small skein of strong knitting thread and a suitable hook. You choose the finishing method yourself, regular chain stitches and single crochets are best suited.

Also prepare a standard needlework kit with scissors, threads, and needles. Choose the yarn to match the color of the interior so that the rug harmonizes with its surroundings.

1. We rip out the seams on old hats and straighten them on the table. It is better to cut off the linings and put them away for the next DIY crafts.
2. We cut the canvas into thin strips, about 2 cm wide.
3. We take the first fragment and tie it with a simple pattern with a chain and air loops, periodically intercepting a piece of strip across it.
4. We move in a spiral, sewing a new strip when necessary.
5. We complete the manufacture of the rug with a single crochet stitch. It will serve as a neat edging for the product.

The size of the finished litter is small, commensurate with the seat of a standard stool. If you need to create a voluminous work, you need to be patient and prepare a larger number of old hats.
