This is the Tarnation Oval Rug pattern worked in worsted weight cotton yarn. The only modification is to use 3 strands of yarn held together--same size hook, same number of chains, etc. You'll end up making many more rounds to get the same size rug as you would with tarn.
Using multiple strands of yarn gives you the opportunity to create a really nice ombre effect. This rug was made with Lily Camo Cotton yarn, in a variegated green colorway (Renegade) and a variegated brown colorway (maybe Outback-can't remember). I started with 2 strands of brown +1 strand of green, then moved to 2 green + 1 brown, then on to 3 green, next was 2 green + 1 brown, and finally 3 brown.
It machine-washes and dries like a dream. If any loose ends stick out, just push them through to the underside.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'm sorry you're having trouble. When I click on the "Tarnation Oval Rug" link in this post, it sends me to the Tarnation Oval Rug page. It's also in the list of patterns in the right hand column of this blog, and available on Ravelry. Must've been some kind of Blogger glitch. I hope you can try again and get it.
DeleteUPDATE: I finally understand the problem, and it's fixed. One of my Ravelry friends explained it to me. The download from the "Tarnation Oval Rug" post is now correct. Thanks for the heads-up.
DeleteHow much worsted weight cotton yarn does it take to make a 24 x 18 inch rug?
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know. I gave this rug away as a gift, so I can't frog it to tell you. Sorry about that.
