Recently, Chris (The Blue Box Girl), had a male customer enter the shop who was attracted by a Crochet Rug we had on display. He definitely had a keen eye for colour and loved the look of crochet, so he ordered a similar rug to be made for his home.
Chris designed a new crochet rug for him in Patons Cotton Blend. She used 11 bright colours out of the 25 available in that range. FYI, we have the whole kit here if you would love to make your own.
60 balls later and a lot of long evenings of enjoyable crochet bliss, here is the result…
