KNIT
Reading edition
All visual patterns can be knitted. Look at the croc. pattern, find out how many ch. sts. you start out with and cast on one st. less. Use number 8 large size knitting needle. This makes the same gauge—2 sts. to the inch, 2 rows to the inch. When just the border pattern is given, look at the croc. pattern to find out how many rows to make. Most of the patterns for rugs use a double strand of yarn; just hold them together and knit as you would one strand.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MAKING FRINGE (1¼″ Loop Recommended)
Working with wrong side of rug up, attach two strands of yarn to edge of rug, and with crochet hook pull both strands of yarn through a single crochet stitch and form the 1¼″ loop. Then wrap one strand of yarn back under the loop. Pull the strands up snug; then to form the next 1¼″ loop, pull both strands of yarn through the next stitch to the left, and again wrap one strand under the last loop made. Proceed this way all around the rug.
LOOP STITCH PATTERN
*Loop st.—Put your needle through st. wrap yarn over your finger twice counter clockwise. With needle go under 1st. strand through loop on finger, pick up last strand, pull through loop on finger and through st. Finish like a sc and on to the next.
