Quilters will compress their stashes by using left over fabrics to create fun and easy rugs. Simple crochet stitches turn unwanted fabric into wonderful, functional rugs that make great gifts. Students will learn how to make rectangular (in 2 styles), oval and round rugs in planned and scrap color schemes. Students will go home with a sample of each rug shape. This experience in dealing with the variety of shapes and color schemes will enable the students to choose the styles best suited for them and create the rugs with ease at home. The crochet hook is included with the pattern and no crochet experience necessary.
