In the flood of baby shawls, vests, and other clothing (all good in their own right) it’s nice to make a project that’s functional and decorative, but not clothing. This play rug will be a favorite play site for baby to explore their world, keep the winter chill off the floor, learn about its texture and generally be a baby. It’s a fun, functional, and easy project that both you and the rug rat will enjoy immensely!
Yarn Choices for Your Purrrfect Play Rug
This crochet rug pattern from Yarnspirations uses Bernat Baby Blanket (Polyester), a 100% polyester ultra-soft super bulky yarn. It’s OEKO-TEX Standard certified, making it a safe option for your little ones to crawl and play on.
What Stitches Are Used in the Pattern?
The Purrrfect Play Rug pattern uses just easy crochet techniques, making it suitable for those with basic experience. The main stitches are single and double crochets, increases for shaping, and slip stitches to join rounds.
The project has interesting details that involve shaping the ears, nose, and whiskers, creating a funny kitten-like design. As long as you know how to work in a round and keep uniform tension, this project won’t cause any big problems.
Inspiration for Personalizing Your Crochet Rug
Consider coordinating the rug’s colors with your child’s nursery, or go for a totally unique design inspired by your pet’s coat. Opt for classic gray, beige, or white to look like a neutral kitty, or be bold with bright shades to give off more of a fun, playful vibe.
