How to knit a rug

I make and sell rug yarn that is spun over a cotton core for strength and durability. 100 yd approx bump will knit a rug approx 2ft x 3ft. It is very easy to knit a rug with this yarn - so here is a quick little pattern to help you get started. Interested in purchasing the yarn ? You will find it at my store HERE.

Rug Yarn Bump - 100% alpaca over cotton core - dyed

US#50 needles or larger

- Cast on 20 stitches

- Knit one row
- *Slip first stitch (as if to purl with yarn in front), knit 19 stitches*
- Repeat * until you have either reached desired length or you have about 5 yards left
- Bind off loosely
- Weave in ends
Here is what the finished product looks like (note - these pics were taken before the rug was blocked or fringe added)
