Rectangle Rug

My mom likes to make round and oval rugs.

Very nice. Machine wash when they get dirty. They will last for years.
To get them to lie flat, she has to increase evenly, every round, all around for round rugs and on the ends for oval rugs.
Easier to make is a rectangle rug.
Chain as long as you want the rug to be wide. Much as I start a bag.

For shoulder bags, I start with 11 ch. For a rug, I'm going to start with a 2 foot long chain. I will work rows until it is about 3 feet long, so the rug will measure 2 feet by 3 feet. I think I'll use dc instead of sc. I think it goes a little faster. I'm not going to use all the same color bags. I want stripes. I don't know how many bags it will take to make adequately wide stripes. This is another experiment. It's also going to take some time. Progress reports to follow...
