Love how this crochet rug turned out. Once again it took me ages to find a rug suitable for a boy but really loved this one as soon as I saw it. As I am only learning to crochet I want to keep doing something new so I am learning new stitches and I get a lot of help from You Tube. A wonderful learning tool. The pattern was a free one and is called Park Slope Afghan. It was a huge job putting it together and I did a Crab Stitch around the edge as I felt it needed something to finish it off. It is a great feeling when a project is finished.
I have finished the 20 blocks and now I am joining all the squares together. This was my first time at joining squares, as you go. The directions were very easy to follow and you can find them here. After I finish joining the squares I will be putting a border around all of the rug. I feel very pleased with what I have achieved as I am only learning to crochet.
