I suppose they are not mistakes, but it is true that makers of these rugs change the pattern in a few places, making it look like a mistake. We have a Turkish rug on our living room floor, and the changes in the pattern are not noticeable until you get right down on the floor and look for them; but they are there. All the chevrons go one way, except for that one right there. It is turned the other way. The patterns are so small, it is hard to see if you aren't looking for it.
