Hooking Mats and Rugs

With just a simple backing, a small hook, and a basket of yarn and fabric scraps, you’ll learn to crate an array of hooked pieces in various sizes – from small welcome mats and chair pads to large area rugs and wall hangings. You’ll learn how to gather and select materials, hook the loops, create special effects, and finish the piece for the floor or wall. There’s a pattern and color key for each of the 33 designs. Rug hooking is all about color and texture. It’s also very forgiving, so there are no mistakes. This book encourages you to explore the edges of your creativity – and will inspire you to soon start hooking stories of your own.
