Even the most expensive flooring and heated floors require beautiful rugs. And what a joy it is for a master to do something for his home. Very cute rugs can be made easily and simply with just a crochet hook, beautiful yarn and a lot of talent. Below are some tips on choosing yarn to create a charming rug and two cute rug styles that will add warmth to your home. What yarn is best for a crochet rug?
Almost any yarn is suitable for crocheting. Just not mohair or huge and thick threads.
The rug can be made from leftover yarn, but it’s better to make it from new yarn and not be afraid that somewhere there won’t be enough color for the pattern. For yarn, it is better to choose not a thin fiber, but an average thread thickness and a little thicker.
Knitted yarn, simple pekhorka, angora, wool or polypropylene work well for rugs; you don’t even have to skimp on acrylic. Even the most low-budget yarn can make very interesting rug designs. The ideas and shapes of rugs can be varied: round, square, even irregularly shaped - everything extraordinary is in trend.
Step by step how to crochet a rug using threads
Crocheting rugs is a pleasure. Many people think that making such a large product is always difficult and takes a very long time. In fact, the thread that makes the napkins is often a rather thin iris thread, and in the same time you can make a circle for a napkin and for a rug.
In fact, the thickness of the thread controls the timing so much in this process. It turns out that you can make a small napkin from a thin thread and spend the same amount of time as creating a huge rug.
Next, two models that are needed in every home, especially those made with your own hands will become the pride of the housewife.
Elegant crocheted rug made of polypropylene threads
The model is created on the basis of polypropylene threads. It’s hard to believe that such a simple thread can be used to make very nice rug models.
Used for work:
- polypropylene thread;
- hook for polypropylene thread (must match the thickness of the polypropylene fiber).
central part
The fabric begins with a long chain of air loops. It is very convenient that you can easily adjust the length of the rug using this particular chain. For the future, you need to take into account that the space will also be taken up by straps and semicircles. Therefore, you should not focus only on this size.You can first knit the fabric in the form of a small square according to the pattern and count how many loops you will need to complete your product.
If necessary, you can make such a carpet by folding the thread. That is, knitting is carried out not with one thread, but with two threads. Knit in circular rows according to the pattern, and use single crochets and chain stitches for this. To diversify the fabric of the rug, you should alternate two colors in several rows.
Harness
The tying is done using arches. For the first one, neat arches with lush columns were used. A beginner can easily handle it. But the second arch will be more complicated in that instead of the usual plump columns, it contains embossed columns with numerous yarn overs.
Important! Follow the sequence of colors as in the photo.
This is how a charming polypropylene rug is made. This product can be used in the kitchen and bathroom.
Persian carpet with crocheted motifs
The charming carpet is made of smooth thread. It is so beautiful that it is simply impossible to refuse to create it. It is imperative to use a smooth angora thread for it so that it shimmers and all the columns are visible and very smooth. Here two motifs are used and a special binding for one of the motifs for joining into a carpet. There is also a binding for this piece that complements these motifs with its delicate shells.
For work use:
- Angora yarn (the thread must be smooth);
- hook according to thread number.
Measurements
In order to make a rug, you should take measurements and roughly compare the size of the model for the room.But you should understand that it is impossible to fit it exactly in size, since the size of the motifs plays a huge role here.
Sample
You should connect one motive and measure its sides. Draw up a diagram for yourself on which to arrange canvases with motifs. This is easy to do if you first study the principle of this scheme. Between the four large ones there will be one small motif.
Motive
Two types of motifs are used in the work. The small one resembles a granny square. Each motif is knitted in circular rows. The square, accordingly, will have 4 corners and to create them, rotation due to the abundance of columns and air loops. It is very important to note that not all rows of the larger motif are made in circular rows. The corners are created using triangular fabrics of forward and reverse rows using single crochets only.
Assembly
After completing the required number of motifs, you can begin assembly. It is also very important to pay attention to the fact that you can knit as many motifs in width and length as the measurements suggest.
Harness
A special binding helps to finish such a charming Persian rug. These patterns not only complement each other, they look like a single canvas. Beginners in crocheting and even masters do not immediately manage to understand the principle of knitting without examining the pattern.
Important! Follow the color of this rug and you can easily get the same chic product.
Making your home cozy is not so difficult. Charming rugs that can be crocheted not only help you achieve the ideal, but also make your stay comfortable.
From a more delicate and soft thread, you can create children's play mats using the given patterns. Moreover, some models are executed very quickly if it is a large thread. Creative success to every master.
