Free Crochet Patterns for Rugs

Rugs are a great way to warm up a room. With crochet you can make a rug to just the size you need.

There are different kinds of rugs, circles, rectangles, and animal shaped. Try some out and find your perfect crochet pattern for rugs.

Which crochet stitch is best for a rug?

There are lots of different crochet stitches that you could use but a simple single crochet stitch would be the best. It is easy and wouldn’t have any holes.

You can use lots of different stitches like double crochet or herringbone stitch. To give your rugs texture you could use the puff stitch or the even berry stitch, like I did in my free striped rug pattern.

What kind of yarn do you use to crochet a rug?

You can use cotton, acrylic, t-shirt yarn, or wool for a crochet rug. Cotton or t-shirt yarn would last the longest.

Cotton, t-shirt, and acrylic would be easier to wash, though you will want to check the yarn label about washing instructions.

Wool can be a good choice but you might need to handwash and will not be able to put it in a washing machine or dryer.

Acrylic or cotton would probably be the less expensive option and there is lots of colors available. I choose acrylic yarn for my rug pattern.

How do I keep my crochet rug from sliding?

To keep your crochet rug from sliding you will want to attach anti slip rug grips to the back. Another option is rug pad gripper, which is a whole piece you put under the rug.

There are different kinds of rug grips: strips or corner pieces. You just stick the tape or corner on the corners of the crochet rug.
