SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

  • Loop yarn - yellow, orange, and blue
  • Scissors
  • Latch hook canvas
  • Marker

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Start by using a marker to draw out the rug shape on the latch hook canvas, based on the proportions and measurements on the provided template. The shape should be a half circle with a width measuring about 2' 5" and a height of about 1' 5".
  2. Use scissors to cut out the rug shape. Use marker to draw out the border lines for each color, based on the provided template.
  3. Starting with the orange loop yarn, press the end loop through the latch hook canvas from underneath. Pull loop tight. Continue across, pressing each loop through the latch hook canvas, staying along the same row but skipping every other square. Repeat process when moving up the template, skipping one row when continuing up the pattern. When the orange is complete, press the end through to secure.
  4. When starting with the yellow loop yarn, start at the bottom left side of the orange shape and press the loops through up along the border edge of the orange shape, making sure there is no gap in between colors. Repeat process when starting with blue loop yarn.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Adorable, But Don't Machine Wash I made this rug during the initial Covid lockdown, and I really enjoyed it. The instructions in the video were very clear, and the rug I came up with was unique and cute and wonky in the best possible way. During 2020, I washed it by hand in the bathtub, and that worked very well. But I wish the pattern had included better finishing techniques that could keep the rug together in the wash, because as soon as my husband threw it into a washing machine, it began to disintegrate. The latchhook fabric backing unraveled and all the yarn stuffed into it began to fall out. I don't have experience making latch hook rugs, and it never occurred to me to do research on how to finish them to make them washable. SO! If you make this rug, I recommend hand washing it, or looking up finishing techniques that will hold it together in the wash. The yarn loops stay in quite well, aside from falling out because the fabric backing has disintegrated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from very cute little rug the picture seemed to show a much bigger size than the measurements listed. we looked at the actual video and stopped several times to see how big the video rug was.....from what we could see it was 27 " wide and 18" tall...Which meant we needed 2 yarns for the inside and middle circle and 3 yarns for the outside circle. We made 4 of them and they are adorable....I wish Joanne would have put a little bit more into their instructions. If you look at the video and compare to the measurements, it seemed to us they were way off.. Ours aren't completely finished because we are waiting for the extra yarn but its a very cute project. I wonder if they can be washed. The yarn was very easy to work with and I would recommend using a crochet hook (which we used at first), but then found the latch hook worked very well....too hard on our hands.
