Q Hook Rug

[tiggerhale]

Hello!

I just finished this rug this morning (just started it late yesterday afternoon!) I'm really pleased with how it turned out. I used 3 strands sage and 2 strands of a mult.

Hopefully the pic will show up. I usually don't have much luck w/that so here's the link as well:

I made it for the front door - I'm getting tired of the mud tracked in b/c it's been raining so much here that our yards are all mush. I figured if I made one, I could just throw it in the washer and dryer when it got dirty:hook

 

Thanks!

Very Nice! Did you put anything on the underside to make it slip resistant? if so, what did you use?

[lizc]

it's beautiful

 

what kind of yarn did you use and where did you get the pattern?!

[robynbird]

That's awesome! I would love to know what yarn and pattern. Thanks for sharing!

You did a fantastic job on your rug! Perfect color for trapping dirt and mud.

Neat rug!

Thanks everyone!

For slip resistant, I have some placemats made of that non slip cabnet liner material. I wasn't using them so presto!

Yarn was Red Heart Super Saver, #0305 Aspen Print (2 skeins), # 0661 Frosty Green (3 skeins).

Pattern was "Soft Steps Rug" designed by Judy Sajewski in "Big Book of Crochet" featuring the best of "Crochet with Heart" magazine, published by Leisure Arts

 

I've got a good bit of the Frosty Green left and not a whole lof of the Aspen - trying to figure out what to use it for that would compliment the rug....

Great rug..How about using the leftovers for a pillow?

Maybe a draft protector? You know, make a tube shape, stuff it, and put it at the bottom of the door to stop drafts (that is, of course, if you need one).

 

Just a thought!

 

The rug (if I was looking at the right thing) is pretty.

Very nice! You've given me an idea...

I love all your stuff! That bear outfit is too cute. I can imagine how my daughters would flip if I made them some doll clothes. I love your floppy friends unicorn, too!! Is it hard to get them to stand up?
