It’s Free Pattern Friday!
Today, the Spring Stripe Rug in Fibra Natura Java (pattern link here).
I love this rug because it uses my favorite stitch – half double crochet. This was the very first crochet stitch I learned, after the base chain. I love it in a self-shading yarn like Poems or Classic Shades. Just hdc-ing around and around until the ball runs out makes a very pretty cowl. And since this is a stitch I’m comfortable with, this rug might be the perfect project for branching into crochet colorwork!
I’m already a fan of 100% hemp Java for home decor projects. I was about to cast on for a larger version of the Java Jive Rug Mug to put under the cat’s food and water dishes in the kitchen, but… this week’s pattern has me wondering if crochet wouldn’t be even better. It’s always great to brush up skills on a beautiful project.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend.
Happy crafting!
