Crocheted carpet - this is FUN

Oh yes, this was great fun. Using crochet needle nr 12 on Hooked Ribbon XL I crocheted this carpet. I MUST make more carpets. Inspired by the blog susimiu.es I  will try to make the mandala carpets shown in blog.

And by the way... this yarn is made from old t-shirts .. isn't that great?




I got the inspiration to this easy carpet from Pinterest. It turned out not to be as easy as I thougt. The carpet is nice and soft to walk/stand on.  

I used crochet hook number 12 - shown in picture is also hook number 3. I crocheted the star first. Then switched to white yarn .

A lot of ends has to be stiched in to carpet, using a really big needle and a small crochet hook.
This is the yarn I used. It is like crocheting with shoelaces..... Next time I would like to try the other type of yarn from Hooked. It is called Zpagetti Zolid. They even have yarn with prints on wich leaves an endless variaty in the pattern you can make. The yarn is sold from the website hoooked.co.uk.
