T-shirt rug

What to do with old T-shirts? This question interests many housewives. But they can be put to good use! For example, you can make a rug from T-shirts. A knitted rug will be in demand both in the apartment and in the country. This rug is comfortable and practical to use.

And you can make it using a regular 4 mm thick hook and several T-shirts. The entire process of making a rug can be divided into 2 stages: 1 – making knitted yarn and 2 – knitting yarn rug.

Yarn making process


1. First of all, you need to make knitting yarn from which we will knit a rug. To do this, cut off the top part of the T-shirt, starting from the sleeves. Place the piece of the T-shirt with the seam facing you.

2. We make cuts from bottom to top, not reaching the top edge of 2 cm. The width of the strips should be about 1.5-2 cm.

3. Unfold the cut T-shirt so that the top seam is visible.

4. Next, we begin to cut the strips. We make the first cut after the first strip away from us and diagonally through 2 strips on the opposite side.

6. A solid circle is formed at the end and at the beginning.

7. We cut it along the bias so that we get a continuous thread.

8. The result is a ball of solid knitted yarn. So we cut several T-shirts and get skeins of yarn of different colors.

The process of knitting a rug


1. Let's start knitting the rug. In this case, we will knit a square rug measuring 60 * 60 cm. To do this, we crochet a ribbon of air loops equal to 60 cm.

2. Next we perform a single crochet (SC). To do this, you need to insert the hook into the next loop after the top and grab the working thread. In this case, we grab the thread through the front wall of the air loop.

3. We pull the knitted thread through both loops located on the hook. We get RLS.
