Totally floored
Sweep them o their feet with this blue hearts rug design by Claire Goodale
Hook up this neat little rug to liven up a plain room or hide a less-than-perfect carpet or floor. Consider using anti-slip grip for safety.
NOTES
Rug is worked in rows throughout. Change colour on the final yrh of st before colour change is indicated. Carry the unused yarn across the back of your work, ready to pick up again. Be careful with the tension on the carried yarn – too tight and it will prevent the Rug from lying flat, too loose and you will have loops of yarn hanging on the WS of your work.
There is a Chart on page 89 which you should refer to for all colour changes. Each small square represents 1htr. Read all RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right. The first few lines of the Chart have been written out to guide you.
