When you crochet a rug pattern that is oval in shape, the double or single crochet may be employed. In terms of yarn type, cotton is preferred by many because it is washable.
Required Materials
Yarn needle
Scissors
Bobby pin
Size H crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn
Step 1
Begin by crocheting the chain that will be in the middle of the rug. Everything else will be worked around this part.
Step 2
Make a single crochet 3 times at the 2nd chain at the hook. Single crochet one time in each chain across the final chain stitch.
Step 3
Create 3 single crochet in the final chain. Do not turn it.
Step 4
Keep working around at the other side of the beginning chain. Single crochet at every chain back to the beginning point.
Step 5
Avoid joining rounds. Put a bobby pin at the first stitch. This will serve as a marker for the commencement of the round.
Step 6
To crochet a rug pattern, you’ll need to create two single crochet in the succeeding 3 stitches. This will lead to an increase in the rug’s curved edge.
Next, crochet down to the rug’s length to the other end. Create two single crochet in the 3 stitches at the end. Now you can crochet back up to the other side. This will finish the round.
Step 7
Continue with the pattern described in the preceding step. The 3 stitches’ space should increase uniformly at the rug’s ends. You can do this by skipping 1 stitch in-between the increases. This means that for the next round, the skip is 1 stitch. For the succeeding round, the skip between increases is two, then three.
Step 8
After the rug has attained the dimensions you want, connect the first stitch using a slip stitch. Now you can secure it. Chain 1 and slice the yarn. Make sure there is a 6 inch tail. This will be used to weave with the needle.
Tips and Hints
You’ll want to use a couple of strands of worsted weight yarn if the rug will be thick. You’ll also need a hook sized between K and P.
As you learn to crochet a rug pattern, consider getting a non-slip rug pad.
Put this under the rug. This will keep it from slipping and sliding. Some deem this necessary because novices find yarn to be quite slippery. Alternatively, you can get a nonslip, nonskid rubber rug backing compound.
