Crochet rag rug fabric strips.

The first step to making rag rugs is turning your rags into yarn for crocheting. Turn over the work and on the underside weave the tail into the work weave it through the same coloured stitches and attach it properly with a needle. Keep in mind that you ll need more fabric if you choose to crochet a larger rug. A reader asked me recently about how to crochet with fabric strips to make floor rugs and other things.

I rolled the fabric into one big ball and crocheted the rug with a 16 mm crochet hook. Store bought fabric allows you to choose specific colors while t shirts and old sheets. Crocheting a round rag rug is as simple as can be. I have never tried this but i did a little research and put together a collection of blog posts and tutorials that will hopefully.

If you re handy with a crochet hook already you ll find this project both straightforward and very rewarding. If you want to make your crochet rag rug bigger you can crochet a longer starting chain adding multiples of four stitches. Cut your fabric into strips and either sew or knot those strips together into a longer strip used as yarn crochet rag rugs are a popular way to recycle old material but you can also purchase yarn to these rugs if you don t have anything you can use on hand. This is a great way to use up old fabric from worn clothing vintage cloths or other sources of fabric items which are looking a bit tatty.

Once the rug was the right size i bordered it with a white fabric strip single crocheted around the edge. The finished rug typically measures about 23 inches wide by 18 inches high.
