Crochet Rugs

Crochet makes surprisingly nice rugs. Included are free crochet rug pattern links from all over the web. Many are crocheted with rug yarn and others are crocheted with strips of cloth. Regular 4-ply yarn is also used.

Use these rugs in the bathroom, kitchen and in front of the hearth. Even a door mat is included. Several links are for vintage rag rugs too.



This rug was created with 2 colors of worsted weight yarn and a size G hook. The rug is worked in stripes. She used acrylic yarn rather than cotton, because she says it will dry out faster if the rug gets wet. You could use either type of yarn.

41 different rug patterns are offered on this site. You are sure to find one that you like. All of these patterns are vintage.

Bernat Baby Coordinates yarn and Red Heart Super Saver yarn were used in this project. You'll also need a size K hook to complete the rectangular rug.

1930's or 1940's rag rug patterns are featured here. She scanned the pages which can make it hard to read the print once you print it for yourself. It can be read on the computer if you download it though.

The circular rug is crocheted with macrame cord in 3 colors. If you have problems finding the macrame cord, the site does have it available for purchase. You'll also need a size Q hook. This should be a quick project to create.

This pretty rag rug is crocheted from strips of fabric. Photos for each step are included to make this an extra easy project. The biggest job is preparing the strips of fabric that will be used, but you will complete a beautiful rug if you complete one.

This very practical rug is crocheted with 4 strands of 4-ply worsted weight yarn held together and a size N hook. The rug would look nice anywhere in the home.

She used Darice Jute yarn to create the doormat. I would rate the pattern Easy and I think almost anyone could crochet it. The mat is shaped in a rectangle.

This is a beautiful rug that would look nice in a bathroom. It has a pretty flower right in the center and is created with worsted weight yarn. You'll need to scroll down and then download the free pattern.

This project is created with pineapple motifs. You'll need worsted weight yarn and a size J hook. The rug is extra nice.

Loop Rectangle Rug is designed with Red Heart Kids yarn and a size H hook. The yarn gives it a pretty variegated look.

This is a pretty rectangular rug that even a beginner can crochet. You'll need Red Heart Eco-blend Cotton yarn and a size J hook.

You can download the pattern in PDF format or print the page for this beautiful rug. The rug is completed in 3 colors of Lily Sugar n Cream yarn. It is worked in stripes.

The ridges in this rug are created by crocheting in the back loop only. You'll need a medium weight yarn and a size K hook. The project is rated Beginner, so is easy to crochet.

This rustic rug pattern is an Australian pattern. The rug is rectangular and you will need 4 colors of worsted weight yarn and a size G hook.

Wow, lots of rug patterns here. I shared this on Reddit because a new crocheter was asking for advice on how to make them. So you may see a spike in your views.

I've seen rag rugs but never knew exactly how they were made. Now I have some patterns to look at. Thanks for sharing.

Rated up and useful!

I love this concept. And just be tossed in the washer when needed.

PWalker, Thanks for visiting the hub and thanks for sharing and rating it up.

Lucy, Your right. I had a neighbor lady that used one at her back door. I asked if she made it and she said it was about 30 years old. She crocheted it from rags. So they must last for next to forever.
