Easy Crochet Rug Pattern

Level

Easy

Size

20" (height) x 30" (width)

Hook

H (5.00mm)

Yarn

About 1,100 yards of Kitchen Cotton yarn from Lion Brand. (Kitchen Cotton is a #4 medium weight yarn.) I used the following colors and amounts:

• Grape (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
• Bubblegum (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
• Tropic Breeze (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
• Vanilla (about 260 yards, or less than 3 skeins)

You’ll Also Need

Yarn needle for weaving in ends

Gauge

6 rows of 10 SC = 3" square (getting this exact is not super important unless you're wanting your rug to turn out the exact same size as mine)

Abbreviations Used

• ST/STS (stitch/stitches)
• SL ST (slip stitch)
• SK (skip)
• CH (chain)
• SC (single crochet)
• HDC (half double crochet)
• SC+HDC (this just means to put a single crochet and a half double crochet in the same stitch)

Notes

• (1) This pattern is worked in American Standard Terms.
• (2) CH1 at the beginning of rows does not count as a stitch.
• (3) You will be double-stranding the entire pattern. (That means holding two strands of yarn together. This will give the rug stiffness.)
• (4) You can easily change the size of this rug; just make sure to begin with any odd number of chains (to make it taller or shorter), and add or subtract rows as needed for a different width.
• (5) The pattern below is written out according to my color changes, but the stitch pattern is actually just Rows 1-8, with a continuous repeat of Rows 5-8. This is good information to have if you want to make a solid-colored rug, or if you want your color changes to be different than mine.
