I’ve been trying to sit down and write out the instructions for the rugs…which are really easy. I still haven’t finished the solid color one, but I have finished the stripey one.
It turned out smaller than I had initially envisioned, but it’s so easy to make another in a larger size.
It’s made using all slip stitches. I love the look of slip stitches. It gives you a knitted look. The great thing about slip stitches with crochet is the thickness that is created.

Take a yarn needle and carefully weave all of those ends. With sl stitches…it is a little harder to hide those ends.
If you would like a wider rug, just start with more chains…like 40 or 45 instead of 33. If you would like your rug to be longer just add more rows.
I love the back…it has an interesting look
Enjoy, and have a great week!
Pattern doesn’t tell you the amounts of yarn to use. Need to know the yardage to know what to buy. Just sayin’.
