Crochet Rug Patterns

Crochet rug patterns make durable floor rugs using heavy materials such as t-shirt yarn, cotton cord, or several strands of worsted yarn held together. Round rugs increase evenly in each round, while rectangular rugs are worked in rows. A rubber rug gripper underneath prevents slipping, and dense stitches help rugs lie flat.

Crochet rugs

What yarn is best for a crochet rug?

The best yarns for crochet rugs are t-shirt yarn, cotton or jute cord, or multiple strands of cotton held together, because they are heavy, hard-wearing, and lie flat. Soft single-strand acrylic tends to slide and pill underfoot.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my round crochet rug ruffling?

It has too many increases; follow the increase counts and check that the rug stays flat every few rounds.

Can crochet rugs be machine washed?

Small cotton rugs can; large rugs are easier to spot clean or hand wash.
