Super Chunky Oval Rug

Hello Pretty Providence readers! I am Bethany from Whistle and Ivy, and I am so excited to share this Super Chunky Oval Rug Crochet Pattern with you today. This pattern is fun and simple! I don’t know about you, but I love working with chunky yarn. It makes for some super quick projects with a beautiful, bulky texture. The colors in the rug are so pretty! This would be a super cute accessory to a baby room, or a comfy and colorful bathroom rug as well.

Although the pattern is simple,  I do change the type of stitches for a few of the rows, and the reason for this is to maximize the yarn length, and avoid buying more than you need. Bulkier yarn comes with less yardage then medium weight yarn, so when I didn’t have enough to crochet the full round in a larger stitch, I made the last round of a certain color in a smaller stitch.

Super Chunky Oval Rug

What you need:
-Super Bulky Weight Yarn (about 132 yards)
-Size P Hook

Abbreviations: (American Terms)
St – Stitch
Sc – Single Crochet
Hdc – Half Double Crochet
Dc – Double Crochet
Sl St- Slip Stitch
* * – repeat the instructions in between the asterisks the indicated number of times

Note: To make the color changes more seamless, finish the last stitch of the round with the color you intend to start. For instance, if your last stitch was a dc, you will work all the steps of a dc stitch, but finish the stitch by grabbing your second color and pulling it through for the last step, then join with a sl st using 2nd color, which you are now using. This in optional, but definitely makes the seam look nicer.

Gauge is not really important, but my finished rug was about 23″ x 17″

Start with 1st color and begin with a ch 10. Ch  2 (1) at the beginning of the round, and the slip stitch at the end do not count in the row count.

From here you can weave in your ends and tie off, or you can keep going and make your rug as large as you would like! Keep in mind, each row will take more yarn than the previous row, so calculate that in when buying your yarn colors.

 

I hope your toes enjoy your new fabulously cozy Super Chunky Oval Rug!
