Knitted Rug Patterns

Knitted rug patterns Materials - No.8 white crochet cotton. Coarsest steel knitting needles.

Take any small pieces of tapestry carpet adn ravel them out; the ravelings must be about two inches long; put them neatly in a box so that you can pick them up easily.

Cast on about 40 stitches, and knit once across plain, then pick up a piece of raveling, and knit it into a stitch, repeat this process throughout the row.

3rd row - knit back plain.

4th row - like the second.

In knitting this raveling in, put your needle into stitch, pick up raveling, place it over needle, bring your cotton over needle also, and draw the stitch, both raveling and cotton, together.

This maye knit any length you wish. This number of stitches will make a stripe a quarter of a yard wide; you will need two stripes to make your rug wide enough. These rugs are very pretty, and quite useful to place before a bureau, or in an entry at foot of the stais; they look like Persian rugs when the colors are rich and well assorted; when all finished trim them off with sharp scissors.
