Do-it-yourself yarn carpet: step-by-step instructions

Make a preliminary preparation of yarn, you need to cut it into small pieces, then fold it in half and “as if” weave it into a mesh.

• thread the hook from top to bottom;
• pick up the yarn in the middle and pull it through the loop;
• securely fix the yarn;
• knit the carpet as you wish, vertically or horizontally;
• combine colors as desired;
• on the wrong side you should get a smooth stitch without knots.

Attention! After completing the product, check the yarn, it should be well stretched upward. If you are making a patterned rug, it will be clearer if you shorten the pile of the yarn.

For a practical and noteworthy product made from pompoms you will need:

• yarn left over after knitting, it can be of completely different thickness, color and composition, from wool to acrylic, preferably multi-colored;
• scissors;
• thin mesh for the base of the rug, with square cells;
• a ruler is needed to measure the grid of the required size;
• cardboard for pompoms.

To make voluminous pompoms, you need to cut out two cardboard circles and make a hole in the middle.Wrap the thread around the prepared cardboard disks folded together. Next, cut the threads in half, push the cardboards apart and carefully draw the thread so as to pull the pompom in the middle and tie it.

For small pompoms, you can use a regular fork or your fingers. Using the same pattern, we wrap two fingers or a fork, thread the thread through the middle and tie tightly. We do not cut the thread.

We prepare the required number of balls, fluff them up and begin making the carpet itself. We tie the pompoms to the net in the order we planned or randomly.

Reference! Try to arrange the pompoms more tightly to make the product even more beautiful and effective. If you did not attach pompoms on both sides, it is advisable to cover the wrong side of the product with dense material for greater service life.

Knowing how to make pom-poms, you can make a product of the most unusual shapes, from ordinary figures to the design of animal images.

Choose the thickness as desired. This rug can be placed anywhere. We will need any yarn and a regular hook, select it according to the thickness of the thread. To get a fairly tight knit, you need to choose a large hook. The thread can be folded several times or knitted from several skeins at once.

We cast on enough loops so that the chain matches the length of the intended product. We knit in a circle in each loop, inserting the hook into both walls of the loop.

We tied it to the required width, then we tied it in 3-5 rows. We do this with the crochet number below for the tightness of the edge of the rug. On such a carpet you can then knit whatever you want, any decor, you can fantasize as you like.

When knitting a yarn rug, always choose the right yarn.Tie a sample, wet it and see how much it changes in size and whether it becomes deformed. Best of all, consult with the sellers. Knitting takes a lot of time, but such beauty and uniqueness is worth it.
