I’m in the process of knitting such a rug myself for my daughter’s bedroom and looking around online for inspiration and came across your blog. I’m using several 50″ x 60″ fleece throw blankets I purchased for $1.00 each from WM over a year ago for another project that I’ve cut into 2 1/2 inch ‘yarn’. My needles are 1 1/2″ diameter, 36″ long dowels from a broken shoe rack. I’ve had to undo it a few times figuring out the right number of stitches and tension because the fabric is stretchy but I think I finally have it together and I’m liking how it’s turning out so far. My kids must think I’m crazy being so obsessed with this thing. But I’m planning on making another larger one as a blanket. Yours looks lovely. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Annie – I love this! I may have to give that arm knitting tutorial a try to make a blanket of my own!

Thank you Elaine! I believe this is actually acrylic. I would love to have cotton or wool. I believe when searching for such thick yarn I saw some of those choices on Etsy. Have a great weekend!

In reply to Brenda.

Thank you Brenda! I bought 12 skeins so I believe I used about 10 for the blanket and then 2 for the rug… I had been playing around with stithches so I pulled the skins apart and know that by the end the rug took less than 2. Hope that helps!
