I am already using that same pattern to use a few of my scraps up. It isn't very big yet, because I try to save scraps for scrap quilts, too. It takes a lot of scraps to make a rug..they crochet up really fast and don't go far, but the rug is very soft. I remember when I was young that my mom used to crochet scrap rugs so I sent for that same pattern and crochet hook. I do love to do it...it is fun. I will probably let my dog lay on it if I ever get it done since it is so soft.
Thanks. If I didn't already have the pattern I surely would have gotten it after you posting that. Love the ideas you come up with to share.
