\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tips:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twist the fabric strip to form a rope like cord to crochet around.<\/li>\n<li>Work on a flat surface, especially as the rug gets larger to ensure the rug sits flat.<\/li>\n<li>If the edges start to cup up it indicates that you need to add some more stitches, throw a few increases in there (2 stitches in one.<\/li>\n<li>If the edges start to ripple you have added too many increases, pull in the inner fabric core gently to tighten up the ripples.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t stress if you have cupping or ripples, you can always unravel the last few rows to fix it, you will get good at judging how flat the rug is sitting as it progresses.<\/li>\n<li>When you get to the end of a fabric strip ball you can either sew the end to a new ball, or just overlap the fabric, twist and crochet over the overlapped layers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53311\"

size. I stopped when I ran out of twine.<br \/>\nTo finish, just cut the end of the fabric diagonally so it tapers off, then keep going with single crochet until you are well past fabric end. Weave in any loose yarn ends.<\/p>\n<p>For safety if you are going to be using the rug on a hard floor I&#8217;d suggest adding a non slip rug underlay to stop it moving when walked on. It will also help flatten out any lumps and bumps.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-53305\"
