Bubble Gum Accent Crochet Rug
Level: Easy
Size: 20" (height) x 30" (width)
Hook: H (5.00mm)
Yarn: About 1,100 yards of Kitchen Cotton yarn from Lion Brand. (Kitchen Cotton is a #4 medium weight yarn.) I used the following colors and amounts:
Grape (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
Bubblegum (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
Tropic Breeze (about 280 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
Vanilla (about 260 yards, or less than 3 skeins)
You’ll also need: Yarn needle for weaving in ends
Gauge: 6 rows of 10 SC = 3" square (getting this exact is not super important unless you're wanting your rug to turn out the exact same size as mine)
Abbreviations Used:
ST/STS (stitch/stitches)
SL ST (slip stitch)
SK (skip)
CH (chain)
SC (single crochet)
HDC (half double crochet)
SC+HDC (this just means to put a single crochet and a half double crochet in the same stitch)
Notes:
(1) This pattern is worked in American Standard Terms.
(2) CH1 at the beginning of rows does not count as a stitch.
(3) You will be double-stranding the entire pattern. (That means holding two strands of yarn together. This will give the rug stiffness.)
(4) You can easily change the size of this rug; just make sure to begin with any odd number of chains (to make it taller or shorter), and add or subtract rows as needed for a different width.
(5) The pattern below is written out according to my color changes, but the stitch pattern is actually just Rows 1-8, with a continuous repeat of Rows 5-8. This is good information to have if you want to make a solid-colored rug, or if you want your color changes to be different than mine.
Here are the colors I used, and how they'll be referenced in the pattern:
COLOR A: Grape (purple)
COLOR B: Vanilla (ivory)
COLOR C: Bubblegum (pink)
COLOR D: Tropic Breeze (aqua)
