Notes
• The rug pattern is made with worsted weight yarn held double. If you
purchased a giant one pound ball of yarn then either roll it into two balls or
use the inside and outside strands.
• The initial ch 2 counts as the first stitch. When the pattern calls for the
next stitch to be placed "in that stitch" it means to place it at the base of the
chain, otherwise the first stitch is placed at the arrows as pictured.
• When you see multiple directions in brackets like this:

[2 dc in the next st, 1 dc in next st] 11 times that means to repeat the instructions
inside the brackets 11 times.
• When you see "join", that means to join your round with a slip stitch
at the top of the ch 2 from the previous round.

Perfect Finish "fasten off" in the round
This is a great way to finish off a round, either when your rug is complete, or with each color
change. It is very easy and does not show any bump or imperfections.
1. After your last stitch in the round do not slip stitch with the ch 2
2. Remove your hook and pull the yarn through the last stitch
3. Thread the yarn in your needle and insert in the initial ch 2, pull
through to the back
4. Next, insert needle back through the center of the last stitch (where
you pulled through). Gently tighten to match the gauge of your other
stitches.
5. Weave in your tail.
