Made with T-shirt yarn, this oval rug works up relatively easily (if following the pattern exactly), and the finished rug makes a beautiful addition to any room! When placed on a carpet, and smoothed out, it lies flat.

A rug of approximately 65 cm x 85 cm will use between two and three 500 g skeins of T-shirt yarn. Fewer or more rounds can be worked to obtain rugs of different sizes.

The only additional material required is a large-eye needle, with which to weave in the ends.

Two crochet hook sizes have been suggested for this written crochet pattern (in US terms), as the particular yarn weight of T-shirt yarn may vary from skein to skein. Use a crochet hook that doesn’t cause the stitches to be too loose.

Placing the finished rug on non-slip mesh is advised if it is to be used on a tiled floor.
