NOTE:
ROUND RUG:
Look at the round here you can see it is starting to look angular (6 sides) to avoid this the 6 increase stitches in each round needs to be moved from the same stitch in each round to the middle of the straight side for each round and this will keep the rug circular
HEXAGON RUG:
Keep the increase stitch in the same stitch each round will give you a HEXAGON RUG!

  8. Love the Hall rug. I know they used to make rug yarn by the skein - do you think that would work? How many stands would I use? Thanks for sharing.

  9. Suz, I recently found your groove and also just began crocheting. I would like to know should one tie the yarn together when changing colors to prevent unraveling later?
    By the way, I love everything on your pages. Your bedroom renovation is fabulous.
