Woven Woolen Rug

This lovely rug is made from chunky wool.

rug woven from recycled leftover chunky wool

This knitted rug is the simplest of projects to make for the home — and an economical way to recycle remnants of yarn in the age-old tradition. It's also great if you are new to knitting, as it really is so quick and easy to make and a little more functional than many first knitting projects. This is a new take on double knitting, in which the different knitted strips are simply woven together to make a stylish textile for the floor. Alternatively, make this rug in tones of one hue to enhance the textures and coordinate with a particular color scheme in your house.

Materials
assorted yarns from your stash (you'll need approximately 1-3?4 ounces [50 grams] of yarn for one strip measuring 32" long and 3-3?4" wide)
1 pair size 10-1?2 (6.5 or 7mm) knitting needles, or size for your chosen yarns
sewing needle
sewing thread

Size
The size of this rug is determined by the length of the knitted strips, which can be varied as required. The rug shown here measures 32" long by 24" wide.

Gauge
12 stitches and 16 rows = 4"/10cm in stockinette stitch using 10-1?2 needles.
Always work a gauge swatch and change needles accordingly if necessary.

Making a Knitted Tube
Cast on an even number of stitches. (The rug shown here is made of double knitting strips of 20 stitches.)
Row 1: * knit 1, bring yarn to front of work between needles, slip 1 purlwise, take yarn to back of work between needles, repeat from * to end. The last stitch of every row is a slipped purl stitch.
Repeat this row until knitting measures 32" or required length.
Bind off by working 2 stitches together (in other words, knit 2 together, knit 2 together, then slip the first stitch over the second) to end of row.
Thread the yarn end through the last loop and pull to fasten off.

Weaving the Knitted Strips
Once you have made the required number of long and short strips, simply lay them out in a grid with the longer ones running lengthwise and the short ones running widthwise.
Weave all the strips together, working them over and under each other alternately.
Where the lengthwise and widthwise strips cross, secure each strip in place with small stitches using the sewing thread.

Knit Bit: According to Harvard Medical School, knitting is just as effective as yoga for reducing stress.

Cable Knit Blanket

This blanket was my first cable project, and although it looks scary, it was actually easier than any lace pattern. The nice part about cables is you get seven rows of easy and fun knits and purls and only every eighth row do you have to worry about cable needles.

I used size 10.5 round bamboo needles along with the standard open cable needles, but I think that the cable needles that look like giant safety pins would be easier for this project.

This pattern is a multiple of 11 + 1 and plus an additional 12 for the border. For my blanket I cast on 101 stitches (88 + 1 + 12)

Rows 1-8 ~ Seed Stitch (K1, P1 for border)

Row 9 and all odd rows ~

Seed Stitch for 6 stitches (K1, P1), place marker for border

P1 *K2, P6, K2, P1* till last 6 stitches

place marker for border and Seed Stitch to end (K1, P1)

Row 10 and 12 ~ 6 sts Seed Stitch, K1 *P2, K6, P2, K1* till last 6 sts, Seed Stitch to end

Row 14 ~ 6 sts Seed Stitch, K1 *P2, slip 3 sts on cable needle and hold in BACK. K3 from left needle, K3 off the cable needle, P2, K1* till last 6 sts, Seed Stitch to end

Row 16 ~ 6 sts Seed Stitch, K1 *P2, K6, P2, K1* till last 6 sts, Seed Stitch to end

Repeat Rows 9 to 16 until blanket measures desired length.

Repeat rows 1-8 and bind off knit-wise.

Assemble ends and make sure to block.
