Pattern: Granny Flower Circle Rug

*Click Here for the Printerfriendly Version!*

*And available through Ravelry!* 

Update 27/6/2013 : I am working on another circular pattern and through this I come to the conclusion you cannot make the rug bigger with the stated pattern!!! It will start to ruffle. You will have to do * increase, normal dc group* after round 7. For the increase round after that it would be a * increase, make two normal dc groups*. Be aware I did not test this and I have no Zpagetti yarn anymore. You are my testers! I will adjust the Printerfriendly Pattern this weekend. Also, I saw posts on knittingparadise.com saying wanting to make this pattern with worsted weight yarn. I really have no clue if this will work!! Keep in mind I specifically made this pattern for super bulky yarn.

General information

A quick rug with Zpagetti yarn! The pattern is written in US crochet terms. You can customize the rug by using your own colour scheme for the dc rounds and the sc rounds. The sc round will show as tiny “seeds” between the 3 dc groups. You can also alter the size of the rug by simply adding more rounds. After two normal rounds there is always an increase round.

Notes

It’s a gauge pattern unfortunately! I am working on getting a quick pattern for lighter yarns, but for now this is what works for super bulky yarn. The pattern unfortunately cups when made in dk weight. I keep you posted!

Gauge: round 1-2 measures 13 cm/5 inch, after the first pattern repeat it measures 32 cm/12.5 inch.

A note on colours: I used a different colour for each round so I fastened off after every round and joined yarn in a ch space. If you want to make it in a single colour, make sure you slip stitch to the next ch space and start your round pattern there.

Finished measurement

65 centimers/25.5 inch

Materials

One cone of Zpagetti yarn (about a kilo) for the main colour. Small bits for the sc rounds.

Crochet hook size 12 mm
