Create a Stylish Crochet Rug from Old T-Shirts
Susan
Feb 16, 2022 02:17 AM




You’ll Need
3-4 old t-shirts or leggings
Sharp scissors
12mm crochet hook
Size
Approx 50 cm x 37 cm
Preparations
Cut garment into 2cm wide strips. Cutting in a spiral fashion around the garment will give you continuous strips.
Wind your yarn into balls. The amount of yarn you will need for the rug will depend on the size of the garment.
Instructions
Chain 40 stitches.
1st row: skip 1st chain stitch and single crochet (sc) into the second stitch. Sc into every stitch (39 stitches).
2nd-30th rows: 1 chain stitch, turn, skip 1 stitch and work with single crochets.
Crochet 30 rows, or however many you like. You can just keep going and make a hall runner if you have enough t-shirts.
Slip last stitch and weave in ends.

I'm a little confused. Cutting material in a spiral??? When you say yarn you mean material? Can you please send me simply directions? Thanks,Maureen
