In this instruction, we go through the principle and base pattern of how you can crochet round rugs from MYO´s various yarns. In the video, we use EKO Braided Rope 5 mm, but the instructions work just as well with other MYO´s yarns. You can make the rug the size you want. Crochet as many rounds as you want and when you are satisfied with the size, go to the final round. In the video, we show you how to start working with the first rounds plus a finishing round and in this text, you will find how to continue with your rug.

The carpet will be crocheted in double crochet, an explanation of the double crochet can be found in the text and in the video.

‍

‍

Get started - the innermost ring

Hold the yarn in your left hand. Twist the yarn around your fingers (left hand) three times. Use your crochet hook to go under the first two loops and hook the third with your crochet hook. Pick up the yarn again and pull under the two finger loops, hook the yarn onto the hook and pull through. Now the loop on the crochet hook holds the double "inner ring" together and we can start on round 1.

‍

First lap

Now we will start crocheting the first round with stitches. Start by making three simple loops. These three loops count as one double-crochet

‍

Now let's start making double-crochet. Take the yarn over the crochet and go down with the crochet hook into the ring you just made, pick up the yarn and pull through (you now have three loops on the crochet hook, pick up yarn and pull through two loops (you have two loops left on the crochet), pick up the yarn one last time and pull through the last two loops. You have now crocheted a double-crochet. Crochet another 10. You should have 11 double-crochet  plus the chain of 3 loops (as you did at the beginning), so a total of 12.

‍

Now we will finish row 1 by bringing the crochet needle down the top of the three loops (as you did at the beginning) and pull the yarn through both loops directly. Now turn 1 is complete.

‍

Round 2

Now the pad will grow in size and therefore we start adding extra stitches. The whole rug will be crocheted in double crochets and start with 3 loops just like the first round.

You start round 2 just like round 1, by crocheting three loose loops. Repeat the following 11 times: Crochet two double crochets in the same stitch. In the last stitch, crochet a double crochet (which together with the first three loops form two double crochets in the same stitch). You have now crocheted a total of 24 double crochets. Finish the round the same way you finished round 1.

Note! All rounds begin with 3 single loops, which count as the first double-crochet. This will not be in the text on each lap below, but it is the same on all subsequent laps. This is important to remember in the following rounds so that the rug gets your round shape.

Finishing Laps‍

Crochet one row with regular simple stitches, i.e. no posts and no increments, for a nice finish.

‍

Finish by cutting off the yarn, leaving a 5-10 cm tail. Tie the remaining tail in a knot around the last loop to prevent it from going up. Tighten and hide the tail by fastening it through a few neighboring loops. Do the same with the yarn end left over from the beginning.
