what a fabulous tutorial. finally a teacher who does not preamble the lesson with 5 minutes of personal nonsense. this was easy to follow and i am so inspired to try this project. thank you!
Thank you Erin for enabling me to make my first two rugs with your brilliant tuition. You're so human, and patient and lovely! It's taken me till I'm 44 to learn to crotchet - and I did it with sheet yarn, thanks to you. You are a gift ❤️
Aww. What a lovely sweet generous 💕 note. It just about made me cry. Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I am so pleased you are feeling successful and are creating your own treasures. With a smile, Erin
I have been saving my sheets for a few years and Im finally starting to make rag rugs! I am so excited! I started with the toothbrush Amish rag rug however I stopped because I saw a video of a few people crocheting the rag rugs and it looked so much better!! Plus I have always wanting to learn to crochet just never had time because of all the other fun creative things I have been enjoying over many years like: sewing a few clothes but I really like sewing home decor(curtains, pillows, baby blankets, etc.), interior decorating, and stripping, sanding and painting/staining furniture, etc. Soooo I am SOOO thankful that you did this video!! You went at a good speed to show the single crochet stitch, which was very helpful not just for the rag rug but so I can understand what the heck Im doing when I use the yarn as well!!! Thank you again!!

Thank you so much for your detailed tutorial! I enjoy being able to see the individual steps, it gives me the courage and a lot of pleasure to make a small round rug like this.
Absolutely. My pleasure. I do try to make my tutorials easy to understand and answer the viewers' questions as I go along. I want you to be successful. Thank you for sharing with me.
Thankful for this video, you're a good teacher. This has brought back memories, my auntie and grandmother would make chair pads, or pad for bench. Lasted for years and years. Peace.
Yes. Many people made things with old clothes, sheets etc. Then we moved away from it. I think it's making a comeback and I hope that am playing a small roll in that.
Erin Halvorsen yes you are, making a difference. Quilting bees( busy as a bee), sitting around tearing old sheets, shirts in strips. First all buttons collars cuffs removed. The joke : when rag man came at grandmother house not much left. Peace.
You are the BEST tutor/mentor! I love how you explain everything for the amateur beginner. Keep sharing the tips & tricks that we can benefit by creating a more experienced crafter.😉😎
I’m an intermediate crocheter, and I’ve been trying to learn the “why’s” of crochet instead of the “how’s”. This really explained how to look at your work and determine when to do 2 SC in a st instead of just one, or vise versa. Also love the way you handled the tail, I love working in the ends without having to go back and weave them in!
Thank a teacher! Thank you Erin. I have a granddaughter named Erin. Love the name! I stopped trying round rugs because when I first watched this, I didn’t have the vaguest Idea what you were teaching. I got the round kitten rugs finished, but not too satisfied with beginnings of them. So I changed to oval. Much better. Learning to do a stair-stepless rug. However, with 9 smaller rugs under my belt, i am back here to really see what and how you accomplish the humpless center. Lol. Okay. Again I thank you muchly for your great teaching. I have picked up your ‘checking it out’ one or two SC and where. Yay! But now, i am doing a rectangular rug for the first of my six grown children who asked me for one. Cant say No to this. 😳😇🏹👉🏻you are the rag rug master. Penny Haulman
Erin, thank you! It is a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos. I'm Looking forward to mastering your techniques. All the best to you and your hubby.
This is really beautiful i crochet every day literally so this is basically crocheting with 2in straps instead of yarn I love this! I think I've found a new passion lol thanks for sharing this
I'm fairly experienced with crochet, but your direction on how to SEE when to do 2 crochet in 1 stitch or not is totally new to me! Very brilliant and useful! Who knows when I'll get around to making a rag rug (I have a million projects in queue) but if nothing else I learned something new about crochet in general. Thank you!
I love your teaching style. This is the best video I've seen on crocheting a rag rug. Thank you so much!!! I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Your discussion of the anatomy of a stitch when working in the round is brilliant! I never noticed that there were so many other places in a stitch (up to 5?!) where a stitch can be inserted. This will be useful to know for troubleshooting any crochet project. ❤❤❤

Thank you Erin. You are a great teacher. I also follow you on Facebook. I bought a great hook from you. It took me over 2 years to make my first rug. I kept taking it out. I ended up with a 24 inch round rug hahaha. I Did learn a lot. Here is a pic I just finished. I decided to crochet with yarn around the edges. I like it maybe can do bigger next time.

Just a question I crochet doilies and many of them are circle SC and I start with say 8 then 2 in each then 1 and 2 around then 1,1,2 around, 1,1,1,2 and continue for as large of a circle as I need. Would that work? Or do you have to evaluate?
Great directions.. But was wondering why you don't weave in the tail on the back side.Wish the technique to attach the strips together had been around when my mom was crocheting rugs and bread bag rugs. Would have saved her so much time in prep.. Love your colors on your rug.

Hi Erin, just discovered your channel and sheet yarn rug making, love it, keeping me safe during this times, but I am running into a problem , what can I do for the fraying in the fabric, my project is comin along gorgeous, thank you so much.
Glad you are enjoying yourself. Fraying sheet yarn is part of making rag rugs. I do best with a minimum of 50 % cotton. Percale sheets are my favorite. You may want to check out my website. My tutorials are organized there better than UA-cam allows. They are all still free. www.ragrugsbyerin.com Hope that helps some. Stay healthy and safe.
@@RagRugsbyErin I'm studying! I'm going to be making some fabulous rugs this winter ❄️ And you're gorgeous! I'm older, too. And some of us are never comfortable with ourselves, until gravity moves in, then we're like... I was beautiful. I'm working on being healthy, mentally and physically. Oh, and my 18 year old son is interested in the rug making! He did a bit of hand sewing through his childhood and definitely has an interest. When I told him about the rug making... he thanked me for letting him try to crochet as a kid. He said a lot of moms never would have let their son do something like that. I tried to prepare my boys to cook and so forth, you don't always have a woman around. And I raised my daughter to do all kinds of stuff, she's just coming out of the Navy submarines.
Thank you for your kind words. I always encourage my sons to do anything that interested them. My husband runs an industrial sewing machine as part of his work. I wasn't raising little boys. I was raising husbands, fathers and men. Have a blessed week 😊.
I don't have experience with a loom. Crochet is portable and mobile. It can be quick. I have not tried my hand at a loom because looms do not have the versatile that I enjoy while creating.
If you use sheets to make your rugs they should hold their shape when you wash them. I wash mine on gentle in the washing machine and dry them outside or on low to medium heat if that isn't possible. I have 2 videos that talk about different aspects of this. They are both in my playlist Rag Rug Information and Help Videos. One is what makes a rag rug last and the other is Sheet yarn verses material. Hope that helps 😊.

On my floors they don't slide. You can buy the spongy mesh shelf liner buy the yard in the fabric depth at Walmart etc. And cut it a little smaller than your rug and just set it underneath. Inexpensive. Hope that helps.
Hi everytime I make a round rug it "bubbles" (what I call it) I have to smooth it out on to the floor and then it will lay flat. Otherwise , when I drop it to the floor parts of it look like it is making rings in the water, like a drop of water ....ripples maybe. How do I prevent this. This happens to me often.
I am sorry your having trouble with your round rag rugs. I can only guess without seeing the rug and you working it what is actually happening. It sounds like you are possibly not adding enough extra stitches to some of your rounds. I suggest you watch When to Add Extra Stitches to a Rag Rug. My free tutorials are organized on my website www.ragrugsbyerin.com better there than UA-cam allows. Over 120 videos. Hope that helps.

Hi Erin, thank you so much for your very clear instructions and tips. Is it helpful to sew in the edgers of the strips to prevent fraying?
Helpful only if the fraying bothers you. 😉🙃😀 It's a rag rug and it's your creation do what makes you happy.
@@RagRugsbyErin thank you for your prompt reply :)
Loved your method on when to add stitches and when not to. I always hated that part of making a circle😂
I am glad you found it helpful 😊.

Just a question I crochet doilies and many of them are circle SC and I start with say 8 then 2 in each then 1 and 2 around then 1,1,2 around, 1,1,1,2 and continue for as large of a circle as I need. Would that work? Or do you have to evaluate?
Evaluate always. You might have 1 rug work that way but the width and weight of sheet varies it will probably not be exactly like same.
Thank you so much. God bless you all.
Thank you 😊. Have a safe and Happy New Year.
Great directions.. But was wondering why you don't weave in the tail on the back side.Wish the technique to attach the strips together had been around when my mom was crocheting rugs and bread bag rugs. Would have saved her so much time in prep.. Love your colors on your rug.

Is there a difference in using a rag rug twining loom vs. the crochet hook??
Yes. Very different. A loom you weave on.
@@RagRugsbyErin: Is there a benefit to using the loom vs. crochet??
I don't have experience with a loom. Crochet is portable and mobile. It can be quick. I have not tried my hand at a loom because looms do not have the versatile that I enjoy while creating.

How do you stop rug from sliding on floor. Do you sew a backing
On my floors they don't slide. You can buy the spongy mesh shelf liner buy the yard in the fabric depth at Walmart etc. And cut it a little smaller than your rug and just set it underneath. Inexpensive. Hope that helps.
Thank you!
My pleasure!
Does it fray when your cutting the the strips
There's always some fraying. Don't use synthetic sheets. I use a minimum of 50 % cotton.
I will learn how to do this how wide do I make it.
I like my strips to be 1.5" to 2" usually. You can do whatever width you like. Have fun.
Super cute
Thank you! 😊
Hi Erin, I just discovered your channel and sheet yarn rug making. I love it, but running into a problem, my fabric is fraying, any advise?
How bout a long oval rug? Ive seen the 4 strand braid rug you do, can I do this in a long rug?
You found it.
Great video 👍 TY Erin 💚🌻💙🧶
My pleasure. Stay safe!
What have you found is the easiest fastest way to cut fabric strips? I hate that portion of making rag rugs....
I rip mostly or use a rotary cutter.
Hi everytime I make a round rug it "bubbles" (what I call it) I have to smooth it out on to the floor and then it will lay flat. Otherwise , when I drop it to the floor parts of it look like it is making rings in the water, like a drop of water ....ripples maybe. How do I prevent this. This happens to me often.
I am sorry your having trouble with your round rag rugs. I can only guess without seeing the rug and you working it what is actually happening. It sounds like you are possibly not adding enough extra stitches to some of your rounds. I suggest you watch When to Add Extra Stitches to a Rag Rug. My free tutorials are organized on my website www.ragrugsbyerin.com better there than UA-cam allows. Over 120 videos. Hope that helps.
Why does my strips of fabric fray so much? Am I cutting it wrong or should I just use sheets?
Sheets are usually better. A minimum of 50 % cotton. Sheets fray too. It's the nature of rag rugs.
Where do you get the sheet yawn from?
I make it. I have several tutorials on making sheet yarn and other types of yarn.
