• Crochet hook (recommended size: 4.0 mm to 5.0 mm)
• Scissors
• Tapestry needle for binding
• Tape measure or ruler

Choose good quality yarn that is strong and easy to work with. The colors can be varied according to your preference or according to the decor of the room where the rug will be used.

Hight point:

1. Make a loop and insert the hook into the base chain.
2. Make another loop and pull the thread through the chain. You will have three loops on your hook.
3. Make a loop and pull the yarn through the first two loops on the hook. You will now have two loops remaining.
4. Make one more loop and pull the yarn through the remaining two loops. High point completed.

Practice this point until you feel comfortable. It will be the base for our rug.
