Quick & Easy Half Circle Crochet Rug


We moved a while back, so we've been kind of starting all over in terms of decorating.  One of things I really wanted to accomplish was to make our home look cozy and inviting, so I decided I'd try knitting or crocheting a few things.  After all I have a ton of yarn just sitting around begging to be used ;)
This crochet rug is actually really quick and easy.  It takes a bit of yarn, but it works up really quickly.  I have the rug in my kitchen in front of the sink and it is soooo soft and squishy!  I just didn't want to take pictures in there since the lighting isn't very good.  And of course a certain someone invited herself to the photo shoot!  This little girl has recently started full out crawling and is quite proud of the fact that she can (and does) get into everything.  But I figured she's cute so I might as well leave her in the photo ;)
I loved this rug so much, that I'm working on a giant round one for my living room!  Well, the plan is for it to be giant, but I've run out of yarn.  Guess I just need to go out and buy some more!  Bummer ;)

If you have any ideas of other things to knit or crochet for my house, I'd love to hear them!  Leave me a comment and let me know!

  5. I love it! What a great idea to use up a wool stash. I really like this chunky look crochet and keep thinking I might try the fabric strips version, but just using 5 stands of wool seems like a great way to try it out with stuff I already have - thanks for the lovely inspiration!
