these are fun to do with old bed sheets. I just cut strips, and crochet. I have several. The dog likes the one I made from a flannel sheet set. they was nice in washer.

I have crocheted a couple rugs with a size q hook...and am also braiding a rug with the traditional wool fabric...but I think cottons would also work well. Is your loom like this? I had my DH make a loom for me, I had so much fun making this rug and used up a lot of old sheets, clothes and random fabric. I finished this one over the weekend and started another last night. I will try to remember to take a photo of the finished product and post it soon. |
You can also use the strips on a latch hook backing (like big needlepoint canvas) and just do loops instead of the cut pieces. Don't remember exactly how I did it, as that was quite a few years and many projects ago. I don't think I cut the strips into little pieces, but I know you can do it that way. You end up with a very soft fluffy rug that will fray with washing like the denim and flannel rag quilts.

Still have not made one of these, been busy and out of town and to dr; as soon as I get to it I will try to share it.
