Locker Hooking Rug

[rottenlittleboys]

My first locker hooked rug, made almost entirely of left-over scrap flannels from my families sleep clothes. The only material not used from scrap was most of the white, about 2 yards worth of that.

Here you can see the foundation material the rug is worked on.


The underside. You can see which half I learned how to make slip knots with the strips. 


And the finished rug. Thanks for looking.

That is beautiful! I bet it''s really soft, too.

I've never tried locker hooking, and it looks like fun! You did a great job, and I love the colors.

Very cool! I want to know how you did it, I'll have to look it up...

This is beautiful! I've been wanting to try rug hooking for a while now! I just love this, so nice.

wow--it looks terrific!  About how long did it take you?

I love that you recycled clothing into this beautiful piece!

I love these kind of rugs, I still have one in a WIP pile, they take forever don't they? How big is it?

[alwaysinmyroom]

pixieval--you should join us in the rag rug craftalong!  You can finish your rug!

I am going to try this technique--the rug is so lovely and practical!

[Lanysmiles]

oooh so pretty!
Is it soft?!

(*goes away to look up how you made such an awesoem rug!*)

[rottenlittleboys]

Very soft, very thick. If it weren't so heavy, it would make the perfect camping sleep pad.

Sorry, missed your question some how. 

The rug is approximately 24 by 36 inches.  I want my next one to be much larger and hope to look into the supplies today or Thursday, which ever day I can borrow a car from my mom.
