Sometimes they even had strips of rags from old clothes tossed in there and were called rag rugs. About the only thing one had to worry about was mixing the various fabrics, to be sure they all had the same washing instructions, so they'd all stay the same size and shape when washed.<br />And think how easily you could coordinate a room by using the same colors (and even materials) for the rugs that you'd used for a coverlet or quilt, curtains or drapes.<br /><br />Good luck with this Kristina!!!<br /><br />God bless.<br /><br />RB<br /><><RBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053380234618898848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-3030063383127460142015-02-25T08:14:21.213-08:002015-02-25T08:14:21.213-08:00Sandra, you'll love crocheting.

I used the single crochet stitch, which is a very easy stitch to learn. I had many ends to sew in, but I think it turned so nice. As far as width, I measured an old rug and just went by that.

I have tons of cotton yarn and would love to give this a go - of course, I've never crocheted, but that won't stop me. It seems like a fairly straight-forward stitch.

An alternative to rug grippers is that plastic shelf liner they have now with the waffle texture. If you have any of that it works...in fact it may be one and the same. It really turned out nice! I love the fact that you use what you've got on hand.Sam I Am......https://www.blogger.com/profile/17358633233189452832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264863019487640784.post-13162604972552098332015-02-24T06:16:58.150-08:002015-02-24T06:16:58.150-08:00Thanks Mama Pea, I love this one too.
