Hi!

I want to make some rag rugs, anybody know how to do it? I'm thinking maybe crocheted or braided, which is best?

Also, I want to make knitted slippers, help would be appreciated.

Thank you :)
Emily

I've made both. I like the crochet ones the best. you have to use a pretty large hook. There are lots of patterns out there on the web and youtube has videos too. They can be a bit "slippery" so you might want to put some rug skids on the bottom.

I have made crocheted with the large hook, very easy and fast.

I've made the crocheted ones and they are fast and easy but ive also seen some done with wrapping cording with the fabric and sewing together on the machine.
