Pattern Notes
Find the yarn featured in this pattern here.
If you’ve chosen to use the recommended yarn, I advise you to pull from the outside end of the skein. This will minimize twisting!
The ch 2 at the beginning of each row/round does not count as a stitch.
When completed, this rug is 38 inches wide and 17 inches deep.
