My Aunt makes these beautiful rugs from crocheted strips of sheets, she has made one for myself over the years, but my dog has gotten a hold of sections of it and I would love to make a replacement. These are just great rugs.

Hi, does anyone know of a pattern, or instructions for a carpet offcut crocheted rug? I've made one before, years ago, and need to know where to get the materials

When I was in the sixth grade a sweetheart of a tutor had our small group make rag rugs out of strips of sheets.
She had us kids take about three strips of sheet & baste/sew several of these strips together. After we had gotten the strips sewn she had us braid them together.
When we finished braiding all the sheet material we baste stitched once again starting w/a braided strip and working it around the braided strip we started with. When I had finished w/my braided rug I was really pleased. Must have been because here it is 30 some years later & I still remember how we made those awesome rag rugs.
Hope this helps you out some I realize it isn't crochet but it is a rag rug made out of bedding sheets.
Sincerely,
evlevo85

ooh- wow, never occurred to me that someone would make a formal pattern- I just do rounds, myself- I use 2" strips of sheet cotton, 1 1/2" if it's flannel, 1" if I manage to get my hands on some wool, and a 'q' sized hook.

thanks for the links, ladies !
