Knitted rugs: schemes, instructions, interesting models

It is always nice to see home-made home furnishings. They are not only a practical solution, but also cheer up.

We know why you did not crochet something like this or knitting before. They were probably afraid that the rug would look old-fashioned. Avoiding the rustic look is due to a reasonable choice of yarn color. If you knit a rug from the remnants of threads or old things, then you must completely abandon the effect of melange, adhering to the clear boundaries between the colors. And next to always use contrasting colors.

Another possibility to knit a rug is not old-fashioned - use gradients.

Our grandmothers didn’t do so, and the product will not look archaic.

The right solution for the home would be crocheted rugs. We will analyze the most interesting models and the scheme for their implementation.

What are crocheted rugs

Solid web

They are rectangular or round, the latter are knitted in a circular, from the center.

Of the motives

For this work, elements of various shapes are made first, and then combine them together. The forms for the base appear in the form of different geometric shapes - a square, a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, a rhombus, etc.

Sirloin technique

To make a rug using this technique, they first make a net-base, and then add yarn, for example the most common one is “grass”.

Classic options

Any rugs connected from classical materials.

Synthetic mats

For their manufacture, polyethylene or even garbage bags are used.

Crochet rug

This option can be performed both independently and by purchasing in needlework stores.

Related of unnecessary things

Made from old knitwear, cotton sheets or synthetic tights. Such rugs are not very bright due to faded fabrics and this is their main drawback.

Oval rug

Of the advantages of an oval rug, it is worth noting the ease of execution, and the possibility of using children in rooms.

• for starters, we carry out simple calculations. Namely, we subtract the width of the future carpet from its length. If the width is 50 cm, and the length is 120, then the chain must be typed in a length of 70 cm.
• When calculating the length, do not forget that when knitting, the typed chain will stretch. Thus, we determine the number of air loops.
• The photo shows a step-by-step description for beginners. You need to knit in a spiral, alternating columns.

Round rug

Such rugs, in essence, are universal. They can be made of yarn of different thicknesses and textures, bright or vice versa muted and delicate tones. And they are sewn from several strips or made whole. This mat is great for home, for sale or just as a gift. Follow the diagrams and you will get a great job!

We will analyze in detail a photo of an ordinary rug made of multi-colored T-shirts and a large hook (15mm). It takes only a little patience and about 5 hours of time.

After completing the middle and connecting the circle, do not forget to change the thread color every 20 loops. Alternate colors and strictly follow the pattern, at the end fixing the yarn and at the exit you will get a neat round rug.

Crocheting Floor Mats

Your house can be completely lined with furniture and decorated, but still there are not enough details for comfort and atmosphere. Even, in appearance, the little things made by you will create a comfortable atmosphere. Indeed, the manufacture of decor with your own hands decorates the house for 100% to your taste.

What will make a floor mat? From old dresses, blouses and all the clothes that you no longer wear, plastic bags, woven ropes and, most classic, from ordinary yarn.

For floor mats, we recommend choosing synthetic threads, like acrylic, they will last a long time and will not lose their original appearance. So that the rug retains heat well, we recommend using thick threads, this will increase its functionality.

Almost any rug can be made non-slip. To do this, purchase a non-slip mesh in the hardware store, it should be slightly rubberized. We cut off the grid of a slightly smaller perimeter than our mat and spread it under it. The mesh can even not be glued, it will hold without glue. And wash these two elements separately.

Rug sun crocheted

Such a coating will shine and warm you no less than the usual sun. In a step-by-step diagram, a do-it-yourself rug is crocheted without lifting loops, while the middle is made with columns without a cape behind the rear floor of the loop.

Colorful rug in the shape of stars

This is a bright, catchy solution that will certainly attract the attention of guests.

Below is a diagram for creating a rug with a Zig-Zag pattern 112 cm in diameter from the outer corner to the outer corner of the opposite side. We recommend using a 7mm hook and 6 threads of different colors, but the same material and company.

Knitting an asterisk in time will take more than a round one, but it will also look more interesting.

Crocheted flower mat

Be attentive to each symbol in the diagram, skipping even one column, you risk spoiling the picture and losing such a precious resource as time.

Crocheting floor mats has many variations. You can tie a flower in several ways, but we will analyze the simplest one.

• To get started, choose yarn from different shades.
• Then, according to the pattern for creating a circle, tie 5 absolutely identical circles with double crochet, changing the color of the thread in the rows. It will take most of the time.
• After all five circles are connected, we proceed to their connection. To do this, bend each circle from both sides, put them side by side in one large circle in order to determine the most suitable bend width.
• Then we make the seams - the basting or with chalk we mark the places of the bends.
• At the end, we sew the circles together in pairs.

In the middle of our flower, a small hole is obtained, which should be decorated with either a small knitted circle or a knitted flower.

You can’t buy this in the flower!
