Just a simple rug with no name.

Update: You can find the rug pattern on my website here. I call it the Willow rug. 🙂

So we’ve now been in our new house for 2 months, it’s still very exciting sometimes to think about. However, before we moved into the house we had to live in a hotel for a month and that really messed up my crocheting schedule. 🙂 So when we moved in I had a difficult time getting into the habit of crocheting again. I just wasn’t very excited about it or inspired. The first thing, for the most part, that I finished after we moved into the house was this rug. The reason that I wanted to make a rug was to add some fun and personality into the house. A simple rug, like this one, was just what I needed to ease me back into crocheting.

It doesn’t have a name right now but I’ll get one at some point, because I’m going to put a pdf together and feature it for free on my website. As you can see in the picture on the left, it’s a simple spike sc and sc combo. If you want to try it out before the pdf comes out, here it is:

W/ an US M or 9 mm crochet hook and 3 worsted weight yarns:

Row 1: Ch 45, sc into second st from hook and all the way across

Row 2: turn, ch 1,* sc into first st, spike sc into next st* (sc into the same st as the sc in the row beneath this one), repeat from * to * until the end of the row

Row 3: change colors, turn, ch 1, *sc into first st, spike sc into next st,* repeat from * to * all the way across

Row 4: turn, ch 1 *sc into first st, spike sc into next st* repeat from * to * all the way across

Row 5: change colors, turn, ch 1 *sc into first st, spike sc into next st* repeat from * to * all the way across

Row 6: turn, ch 1 *sc into first st, spike sc into next st* repeat from * to * all the way arcoss

Rows 7 – 108: repeat this pattern over and over until you reach row 108. Two rows of first color, two rows of second color, and two rows of third color.

Row 109: with first color: turn, ch 1,* sc into first st, spike sc into next st* (sc into the same st as the sc in the row beneath this one), repeat from * to * until the end of the row

Row 110:  turn, ch 1, *sc into first st, spike sc into next st,* repeat from * to * all the way across

Once you’re done use one of your colors and sc into each st across the top, bottom and both sides, ch-ing twice at the corners.

I hope you guys like the very simple, no name rug pattern.
