How to Crochet a Beautiful Rug
Here’s what you’ll need to crochet your rug:
Materials Required
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)
Measurements
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 of 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″.
Crochet Pattern for the Rug
Follow this pattern for crocheting your rug:
RND 1: Ch 31
ROW 1: Single crochet across, ch 1, turn
ROW 2: Repeat Row 1 until end – Simply single crochet until you run out of cord, or you reach your desired size.
Tie off. Use your fingers to weave in ends.
