Materials
-
Yarn:
-
Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook [00:11].
-
Accessories: Tapestry needle for finishing and scissors [00:20].
Step-by-Step Pattern
1. The Flat Flower Squares (Make 3)
-
Center: Ch 6, join with a slip stitch (sl st) [00:32].
-
Flower Petals: Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), work 3 double crochets (dc) into the ring. Ch 1, 4 dc. Repeat until you have 4 blocks of 4 dc. Join and fasten off [00:57].
-
Leaves (Green): Attach green yarn to any ch-1 space. Work a corner shell: (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc). Ch 1, and repeat in the next space. Repeat around to form a square [02:49].
-
Joining: As you work the “Raw” color round on the 2nd and 3rd squares, join them to the previous square by replacing the ch-2 with a single crochet (sc) into the corner of the finished square [06:18].
2. Establishing the Oval Shape
-
First Oval Round: Attach the raw yarn. On the two far ends of the joined squares, work “shell” increases (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) into the corner spaces [09:36].
-
The “Straight” Sides: In the side spaces, work blocks of 3 dc separated by ch 1 [11:01].
-
Increases: To make the ends oval, work additional shells into the ch-spaces between the existing end shells in subsequent rounds [14:23].
3. The Rug Body
-
Expansion: Continue working rounds. In the oval sections, work shells of 2 or 3 dc separated by 2 chains [15:49].
-
Intervals: Increase the number of chains between shells in the oval sections (from 1 to 2) as the rug grows to keep it flat [21:57].
-
Straight Section: Maintain the “Granny Stitch” (3-dc blocks) along the long straight sides of the rug [19:31].
4. Final Border and Edging
-
The Scallop Round: In the final round, work large shells: (4 dc, ch 2, 4 dc) into each shell space from the previous row. Attach each large shell to the next space with a single crochet to create a scalloped edge [23:39].
-
Optional Color Pop: The tutor suggests finishing with a final round of single crochets in the flower color (Purple/Rose) around the entire edge for a professional finish [27:03].
Special Features
The “increase in shell” technique allows the rug to grow rapidly without becoming too heavy. The flat flowers ensure the center of the rug is comfortable to walk on and won’t catch on furniture.
Level of Difficulty
Easy to Intermediate. Knowledge of basic stitches and how to join crochet squares is required.
Tutor Suggestions
If the rug begins to curl up (cup), increase the number of chains between your shells. If it starts to wave (ripple), decrease the chains or skip an increase [18:03].
Uses
Perfect as a bathroom mat, a kitchen runner (by adding more squares), or a decorative bedside rug.
Conclusion
The Quick and Economical Oval Rug is a rewarding project that balances speed with style. Its modular beginning and systematic oval expansion make it an easy pattern to memorize, while the finished result is a sturdy, professional-grade rug that enhances any room.
Tip: When joining your three squares, pull your single crochet joins tightly. This prevents the center of the rug from having large gaps, which helps the piece maintain its shape after many washes [07:40].
