Crocheted rugs are a great accent for your floors. They work really well on hardwood and tile floors. The Mossy Oaks Rug crochet pattern by Jessie Rayot is a beautiful octagonal rug with a thick, luxuriant texture. Be sure to add it to your home!
Where Can You Use This Crochet Rug?
This crochet rug is a great idea if you have a room or space that is close to square, where it could function as a centrepiece, or as a base for a round coffee or side table.
Otherwise, it will work just as well when placed at the entryways, beside the bed, or used as a bathroom floor mat (in such a case, just make sure to use cotton yarn).
Materials at a Glance
The designer suggests twinning yarns of different colors to make a gentle, gradient-like transition between different hues.
The sample seen in the photos was made with Herrschners Worsted 8 Home Décor Value Yarn Pack in Mossy Oaks. It’s a medium-weight 100% acrylic yarn sold together in four matching colors. It not only ensures a soft feel but also offers great durability required for high-wear items like rugs. You will need two packs (4 skeins per pack) to complete your project.
You should also use an 8 mm crochet hook to get a rug measuring 46″ across.
Who Can Complete This Crochet Rug Pattern
If you know how to do post stitches, this crochet rug pattern will be a breeze for you! It is worked in the round using back post and front post double crochets, simple half double crochets, and reverse single crochets. Together, these techniques create an outstanding texture with a nice ribbed look.
How to Stop the Rug from Slipping on Hard Floors
Slipping rugs on the floors is a common problem. This is especially relevant for tiles and laminate flooring. The best you can do to prevent your handmade rug from sliding is to add a non-slip backing.
There are several options to approach this:
- Use a non-slip rug pad (can be found in every furniture/home decor store and online).
- Sew on silicone dots (these tiny pieces are sometimes enough to stabilize the rug).
