I don't usually crochet with plarn for hours and days. My thumb joints are aching! I am so happy to have finished that rug! Sore thumbs are a small price to pay. 79 rows of dc. About 180 bags. I changed colors to have stripes of varying widths. Final measurements are 26 x 34.
This is one of Mom's oval rugs made using sc, worked in rounds. I got an even rectangle working in rows.
This is plarn worked in dc. Slightly different texture. It will allow dirt and sand to fall down through. It is also amazingly soft and springy to step on.
Years ago, someone gave mom a plarn rug. When it got dirty, mom washed it in the washing machine and allowed it to air dry. Mom said it lasted for 15 years.
So, by changing dimensions to fit your space and by using the plarn color(s) available to you, you can have another item which is uniquely yours. Go for it! Express your own personal creativity!
