52 Week Crochet Challenge
New Pattern! Round crochet rug
Yesterday I launched a new crochet pattern and I'm excited to announce that it's now available for purchase! I created this pattern because I thought it would be nice to have a coordinating option for my rectangle rug pattern - which is my most popular seller. It took awhile for me to figure out the stitch pattern, but I wanted to make sure that the rug can made to any size, and I include detailed instructions in the pattern on how to make it larger or smaller. It was fun to design, and now I have a round option for my home.
This is an easy crochet pattern that requires super bulky yarn and a size N (10mm) hook. It features a cobblestone stitch center, which is super cushy on your feet. This rug would be great for kitchens and bathrooms, or really any room in your home. The pdf file also includes complete instructions, color photos, Helps & Hints, and a yarn substitution guide. This pattern looks difficult, but it works up very quickly -- you could make your rug in a weekend!

Crochet reference works are much less common than ones for knitting, and this one has all of the basic information crocheters will want to have on hand. ~ Library Journal
For a new crocheter, I can pretty much guarantee that working through the 30 projects in order will teach you most everything you need to know about crochet. It’s amazing to me how much Oparka has jammed into this one 224 page book. From holding the hook and yarn to basic stitches and increasing to her wide array of stitches ranging from textured to loop to chevrons and spikes then to tunisian, hairpin, and broomstick, I can’t think of much that’s lacking here.
