Learn how to make a traditional crocheted rag rug with Cal Patch. Rag rugs are a great opportunity to use up recycled fabrics like old bed sheets and T-shirts. In this class, Cal shares expert tips on how to shred the fabric intro strips and connect them to make one continuous “yarn” for crocheting. Once you’ve learned the chain stitch and single crochet stitch, you’ll work in spirals to create a round or oval rug.
Here’s what you’ll need:
  • Old T-shirts / knit fabric yardage / or woven fabric yardage
  • Sharp scissors
  • Crochet hook size Q/15mm (you may need to adjust hook size to get a firm fabric)
