I seemed to have quite a lot of blue wool in the stash, and my sister was having a birthday, so I decided to make her a rug too. But after sewing all those green blocks together, I was looking for something a bit simpler this time. Random stripes would use up all those blues, and I could mix and match the colours.

I used Bendigo Luxury 8 ply, and a 4.5 hook. There were 16 colours, mostly blues, with a couple of aquas and lavendars. Some colours are now superseded.

Beginning
with 180 chain, pattern was a five row repeat of 1 row treble, 1 row
dc, 1 row treble, 2 rows half treble (British terminology).

One row of shell edging in darkish blue.
Not sure exactly how much wool I used, but the finished rug weighs 1300 grams, and measured 48" x 60".
