rugs have many great qualities. They can function as soundproofing in a room, and they provide warmth and a cosy and personal touch to the rest of your interior. Additionally, they can be used all year round. However, you can also choose to knit a summer rug, which you can switch out with a more robust and thick rug in winter.

There are many different rugs to knit, which means that you can definitely get started knitting a rug that meets your needs. Here you can see our free patterns for knitted and crocheted rugs.

Before you start knitting your homemade rug, you should consider what yarn you want to knit with. It is a clear advantage to knit with durable yarn since it should be able to withstand daily use. Additionally, you can consider whether the yarn should be machine washable. In our large selection of yarn qualities, it is stated whether a yarn can be washed and at what temperature.

A safe yarn choice would be to knit a rug in cotton. A good choice here would be our popular DROPS Paris, which consists of 100% cotton. Paris is spun from multiple thin strands and has a delicate and rustic look. The yarn comes in two different types: DROPS Paris Uni Colour, which consists of 100% combed cotton, and DROPS Paris Recycled Denim, produced from 100% recycled cotton. Both types have the advantage that they can be machine washed at up to 60 degrees. Additionally, they are both easy and quick to knit or crochet, making them a good choice for beginners and for interior projects such as rugs. Furthermore, Paris can be used for dishcloths, pot holders, towels and tea towels.

With this beautiful cotton yarn, you can knit a rug in the most beautiful colours. You can also check out our other cotton yarns here.

A rug is important for the style and expression of a room's interior. Therefore, it is important that you choose yarn colours based on what suits the decor and your personal taste. You can choose to knit a rug in one colour or go all out on colours and patterns. For example, you can choose to combine garter stitch and stripes and get a beautiful rug that will make you happy to look at every day.
