Materials Needed

• Yarn: Medium weight cotton yarn in red and cream
• Hook: 6.0 mm (J-10) crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 inches = 10 stitches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and secure it. This will be the center of your rug.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close. You should have 6 stitches.
3. Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around. You will have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. You should have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *1 sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Continue this pattern of increasing until you reach a total of 48 stitches. You will notice the rug starting to take shape.
7. Change to Red Yarn: Once you have 48 stitches, switch to the red yarn. Work even in single crochet for 5 rounds. This will create a solid base for your rug.
8. Switch to Cream Yarn: Change to the cream yarn and work 1 round of single crochet (sc). This will help to transition into the lace edge.
9. Create the Lace Edge: For the next round, work *chain 3 (ch 3), skip 1 sc, sc in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. This creates the beautiful lace edge that adds elegance to your rug.
10. Finish with a Slip Stitch: Complete the rug with a round of slip stitch to secure the lace. This will give your rug a polished finish.
11. Weave in Ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in all loose ends. This step is crucial for a clean look.
12. Block if Necessary: If your rug needs a little shaping, you can block it to ensure it lays flat and looks its best.
