​Modern Crochet Outdoor Rug

8 packs of Premium 550 Paracord from Home Depot -50 feet in each package and it’s 1/8 inch thick cord. (3.2mm x 15.2 m)

( Around $50.00 total, however, I have had some readers tell me that they have found this cord for much cheaper elsewhere. )

US Size P 11.5mm crochet hook

Scissors to cut any ends (crochet your ends in as you go)

This mat is small. It measures 14″ x 20″ but is great for a small porch or patio. If you want to make it a bit wider, buy an extra set of cord. It will add another couple inches making it 16″ x 20″. Of course you can buy as much as you want and customize your size! Simply make your chain longer in the beginning if you want it wider than 20″.
