Nina's rug.

I love this pattern, don't know what it's called.

Very simple - Begin with an even number of chain (I used 130ch), work 1 treble, 1 dc, repeat across the row.  Turn, and repeat. Now you will be working a treble into a previous dc, then a dc into a treble. This works up as a fairly dense fabric, so I used a 4.5 mm hook.


I used a total of 14 colours, 5 greens, 7 terracotta/apricot/gold, and 2 different creams. Most were BWM 8 ply Luxury and Classic, including some discontinued colours. Used a different colour for each row, so there were LOTS of ends. Rather than darn them in, I knotted them and added extra short lengths to make a fringe along the sides.

Rug measures 44" x 58", and weighs 1230g.
