Crocheted Rugs
Crocheted rugs whether antique or new have been a way to use up left over fabrics, yarns or the parts of old clothing that still had wear to it. They are easy to make as they use a single crochet stitch that most anyone can do. Decorative patterns such as the crocheted heart rugs can be achieved with just a couple steps that are not difficult. The most popular design for a crocheted rug is the oval, which at first glance appears to be a braided rug. Crocheted rugs make terrific shoe cleaners and also work very well as bath mats. The fabrics used are ordinary cottons from old clothing, sheets etc., but many other fabrics have been used too. Some find crocheting shopping bags into a rug makes nice rugs, but do be careful where you use this as they can become very slippery.
Sizes do vary in a crocheted rug, but a smaller 24" x 30" is an excellent size for two reasons. It works well in front of a chair, the tub, an appliance and many other places. Secondly it also can be laundered in a home washing machine, which saves a lot of money.
