I crocheted 2 rugs using fabric strips.
This is the beginning of the 21” smaller one.
This is the beginning of the larger 31” one.
I followed this tute on Creativebug: Crochet A Rag Rug by Cal Patch.
These are planned designs. I got my inspiration from one of the members pics in the gallery for this tute. Her rug reminded me of a galaxy.
I thought to myself, Maybe I can design my strips to look like that.
I did use the strips randomly but changed them out at intervals for the dark or light ones.
I am very pleased with how the rugs turned out. They remind me of designer rugs. I don’t think that I will be crocheting any more though.
I really want to start weaving rectangular rugs instead. I’ll save crocheting for the traditional yarn projects.
