Strong Appeal in Braided Rag Rug
Braided rugs appeal to many makers because the work is almost tool free. They are less durable than crocheted rugs since braided strands are sewn, so use strong waxed thread. The Pin Wheel rug measures 35 inches and needs about 4 pounds of cotton rag material. The design features a black center, white center, and outer ring with mixed colors. strips are 1 1/2 inches wide. Wave edges fold to form a strip about 1/2 inch wide. Use three strips per braid, start in center, sew 8 rows around, shift to opposite side for next row, then complete 9 rows of changing colors, then 8 outer rows, finishing with the last row. The rug has 26 rows. For more rugs, send 15 cents to Rug Department for book No 25, with 26 rug braiding and crochet guides. Include stamped return envelope to Home Craft Co. Dept C, 19th and St Louis Ave, St. Louis, MO.
