I used to make these also by braiding the cloth strips and sewing the braided strips together to form the rug. I think crocheting them is easier though and uses less strips for the same sized rug. I use old towels too and make my own highly absorbent bath rugs.

Hello writer_crafter How many sheets do you use for your rugs?

[writer_crafter]

Sandra,

It really just depends on the size and shape of the rug, and how you crochet it. Usually, around 2 full size sheets will make a small round rug crocheted with hdc or dc.

Thanks for the info. Thinking on trying it out.

What a great idea. I love the thought of re-using something rather than just throwing it away. Your rug is truely beautiful.

Wow! This one's another great idea. I've been thinking of what I could do with my old but somehow not too fluffy towels which I'm somehow hesitant to throw or give away. Yep old towels can still be useful!

Hi All
thanks for the rag rug posts. I can hardly wait until after the holidays. I will strat one then. Not sure whether to crochet or braid. Will have to think on that. Misty

Lovely work. I have been telling myself for years that I need to make one. Looks like you have done what I keep thinking of.
