Toby's rug

Who doesn't love a ripple rug? So many possibilities, from sweet and pretty to bold and dramatic. As I was scrolling through Ravelry one day, I saw this one, and fell in love.

Rug by Linda74 on Ravelry

Turned out I had quite a lot of red and orange yarn already, and a trip to Bendigo Woollen Mill filled in a couple of gaps.

I was pretty sure the colours would appeal to grandson Toby, and sure enough, he visited while I was working on it, and immediately claimed it.
It turned out exactly as I hoped, and now graces his armchair.

I used a 4mm hook, which made it a bit loose I think (I didn't block it.)
Assorted BWM Classic 8ply yarns, plus some others of unknown provenance.

Measures approx 46" x 63" (117 x 160 cm)

11 pattern repeats, (7 tr between increases and decreases), 110 rows
Weighs 1280 g

I worked the border in black, row one in pairs of extended double crochet, (2 stitches in each treble along the sides) second row is plain double crochet.
Completed October 2015.
