I’ve had so many requests to write up a pattern for a heart rag rug I’ve finally got around to doing it. This is just one pattern and quite often I just make heart rugs in a freeform style.
You can get the pattern by clicking here or over on Etsy click here.
This shawl is worked in a basic trellis pattern. Shaping is created through beginning each row with 7ch and then 1 dc into 4th ch.
Materials:
50g pumpkin DK yarn, 6.5mm hook
Pattern:
Ch 100 + 7 (counts as first trellis)
Row 1: dc into 8th chain from hook, *ch 7, sk 4 ch, dc into next ch*, ** rep to end.
Rows 2 - 13: *ch 7, dc into 4th ch from previous row*, **rep to end.
Note: Rows 2-13 are worked identically.
To Finish: darn all ends in.
Edging: this wrap doesn’t require an edging and you could apply any that you wish but here I worked as follows.
Row 1: *work 1 dc into 1st ch, sl st next ch*, ** rep to end.
This pattern is offered and made available for personal use only.

I recently came up with the idea or notion of producing a granny square rag rug it’s something I haven’t seen anywhere else and naturally wondered why. I wasn’t sure it would work due to the nature of rag rugs but I’ve done it and I love it.
It’s shabby, it’s chic, it’s vintage, it’s retro, it’s folksy, it’s granny and it’s crochet. What more could we want?
So if you fancy having a go at making one you can get the pattern on Etsy or Ravelry.
As many of you will be aware it’s International Crochet Day on Sunday, so I was wondering what everyone was doing to celebrate or promote crochet.
I will no doubt be eating, sleeping and breathing crochet. I will be blogging, pattern writing, and even crocheting. Why not pop along to the International Freeform Crochet group and have a look at this years exhibition.

I will probably be making and hanging more ribbons on The Crochet Clootie Tree.

Anyway let me know what you all are doing are you busy crafting for Christmas yet? Leave me a comment and let me know what your working on. If you are a fellow blogger then please do blog about International Crochet Day 2010 and spread the word.
Thank you Donna for taking the time and effort to send your lovely ribbons for the clootie tree. It’s looking finer for the addition.
