Blended Colors in Knitted Rag Rug IF YOU want to make a really 1 effective rug from odds and ends of fabric—and do it quickly, this knitted rug is the answer. You cut or tear the material in strips about three-quarters of an inch wide, turn in the raw edges and then knit straight strips with nee dles three-eighths inch in diame ter. These are sewn around a cen ter oval. The colors are important of course and it is essential that the knitted strips be eased in with evenly distributed fullness. The trick is in pinning them in place first as shown in the diagram. If you do not have the colors indicat ed, remember that it is always worth while to dye the rags so that they blend harmoniously. • • • NOTE—This rug Is from BOOK 4 which also gives the complete knitting directions for the center oval and the strips.
