My aunt taught me when I was 11. I think of her every time I crochet. Thank you Tia Josey for teaching me how .
You are VERY welcome!
Absolutely love your tutorial! Thanks for the clear and simple instructions. The cheat sheet is such a clever idea! ♥
Thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
I thought you were really good but this rug finish knocked it out the park. That perfect finish. There was no oops I am a stitch off. Perfect perfect perfect. THANK YOU ‼️❤😁
Thank you SO much! I sincerely appreciate your words! Hope you'll stay in touch!
I just received my order! I am so excited to get started! I am a beginner and I feel so confident watching this! I will share my work when it's done! Thank you!
Oh WOW! I love this & your confidence! I hope you'll stay in touch & let me know how that first rug went! I have no doubt you'll be an expert in no time!
Thanks for reaching out!
Thanks for this video. This camera angle is much more helpful to me than the other video. I appreciate being able to see the stitches and also the cheat sheet at the same time. Thanks again
Thank you for sharing! I appreciate your kind words! Hope you'll stay in touch.
LOVE your channel! You are an excellent instuctor, with clear and concise explanations and your step by step quide is the best! Thank you so much!
Thank you SO MUCH for your kind words! They mean the world to me!!
The Best l’ve ever seen.
@@tutualbert4754 Thank youuuuuu! I really appreciate that!!
You are an outstanding teacher! Love your pattern techniques! You cover everything you do in detail, & repetitively, which helps me a lot. Just FYI, you don’t go too fast. Thanks so much. Do you have a video for a rectangle rug where you go around, not the one that goes side to side, which is totally beautiful too?
Thank you SOOOO much! I appreciate your kind words!!
We have a VERY old video on the channel on crocheting rectangular rugs using a "V-Stitch" in the corners. I just viewed it for the first time in years. Technology has changed a lot & our video skills have also changed a lot. Not a video I'm terribly proud of now, but hopefully will get you started! I'll plan to film another new video very soon okay?
Here's a link to it!

Gyönyörű a szönyeged. 😊
Köszönöm! (Thank you!)
Amazing teacher🎉
Awhhh ... you're kind! Thank you!!
I like the way you explain your rag
The last rag I made it buckle alot
I'm go to redo it again
Your way
Ohhhhh I'm so happy you stumbled on the video! If you follow our technique, your rug will never buckle! It will be perfectly shaped & lay perfectly flat!!
Thanks for watching & reaching out!
Amazingly beautiful
Thank you for reaching out & sharing! MUCH appreciated!!
Another great pattern. H e adding out to buy my jute. Thanks for sharing😊
Thank YOU! I hope you love working with the jute as much as I do! Thanks for staying in touch!
Hi Lara! I love your channel and I'm wondering if you've ever done a swirled amish rug? I've seen some where the colors swirl around in a continuous line. But I haven't found any tutorial. Would you consider showing us how to make one?
Hello! Yes, I have!! They are super fun! I've added it to our list of videos. Thank you for reaching out & suggesting it!
Beautiful rug! But wouldn't hit be good to protect your finger with a bandage or glove?
Thank you so much! I suppose it could but honestly I don't find the jute hard on my hands. It's far more pliable than most figure it to be. You should try it!
I love this pattern I make mine out of plarn and yarn
I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for reaching out & sharing!
Rug is beautiful.
How would you change color for double crochet and scallop?
Hello, Sandi! Great question! I am assuming you are considering using one of our Bonnie Craft Cord for the Double Crochet & Scallop? If so, I'm going to share a video you might enjoy. The video is for Fabric, but you will use the same technique with the cord. The difference will be that you will tie a loose knot at the point of transition (rather that connecting the fabric using the no-sew/slit method). And then continue on with your Double Crochet & Scallop border!
It's right before the 5 minute mark: ua-cam.com/video/6pDJvP9qgzw/v-deo.html
The reason I always recommend a "loose knot" is so that you can adjust the knot to be least visible at the transition point. Tighten it down and then weave in the ends using your crochet hook or a latch hook.
This increase I saw in an old crochet book years ago
Hello!
I wish I would've seen it! It took me forever to figure it out on my own! LOL Thanks for reaching out! Hope you'll stay in touch!
Love the look of the jute, is it more difficult to work with? As i have arthritis in my fingers. Movement is s good, but not over doing it. How much stress is on the fingers?
Thanks for reaching out! I LOVE jute & the I too LOVE the way it looks, the way it feels, and I love its earthy smell! I really love how well it wears .. very durable!
I don't feel that it's any harder to work with than fabric or cord - in my opinion and I've made hundreds of jute rugs. I have a bit of arthritis in my hands too but haven't noticed much stress working with jute. I DO crochet fairly open. In that I mean, I don't ever find myself pulling on the fiber I'm using as I'm crocheting. Instead allowing it to slip easily through the loop on my hook. Possibly that's why I don't experience the stress you are describing. I feel that those who crochet a little tighter than myself struggle more with hand & finger stress.
I would give it a try!
Will your new video on oblong rugs from center outward be a different technique than using the v-stitch or the same technique just better quality video? Old video is a bit hard to follow & be correct on which stitch to go into but do-able after viewing a few times. Also, would you wash the oval jute rug & only in the tub? Thanks.
Hello!! Thank you for reaching out! Same technique but MUCH better quality! Yes, I completely agree. The older video is VERY hard to watch & learn from. I'll try to have the new video up soon!
I don't recommend washing your jute rug in a tub or wash basin as we might with our fabric rugs. Instead, please consider spraying with a garden hose & allowing to dry on a deck perhaps. Always use Scotchguard once dry to condition the jute & help it repel water & stains.

Do you have any tips on how to get rid of the jute smell?
Yes, thanks for asking! Febreeze works really well! Keep in mind that in short time the "earthy" smell of jute will dissipate. Sometimes just a few days. I personally like the smell but many (like yourself) aren't fond of it!
I address that as well as many other questions you may have about jute in this video! ua-cam.com/video/3sDxWuZhzLM/v-deo.html
if your wanting to make a bigger rug with cotton yarn how would you do that
Good Morning! What size of rug are you interested in making? Once you decide the size, you simply subtract the finished width dimension from the finished length dimension. That # is the number of foundational chains you will begin with.
Yes! You can use this pattern for both fabric (we use a 2" wide strip) & 6 mm jute. If you are using the same "Q" sized hook we used & yield an approximate 1" gauge, your width divided by 2 is the number of rounds to complete your rug!

Question if i wanted to double the size of this rug besides starting with 24 stitches will the pattern need to change?
Hello, Nancy! That's the beauty of my pattern! You can create virtually ANY size of rug using the pattern! The ONLY thing that changes is the # of starting foundational chains. To determine the # of chains, simply subtract the desired finish width from the desired finish length. The difference is your # for starting chains!
Starting with 24 stitches as you've shared, you could (as an example) make a rug that is 24x48". 48 minus 24 = 24. Crocheting at a 1" gauge, you will plan to complete 12 rounds to reach a rug that is 24 x 48". (24 divided by 2 = 12 rounds)
As another example: If you were to again start with 24 stitches, you could make a rug that is 30 x 54". 54 minus 30 = 24. Crocheting at a 1" gauge, you will plan to complete 15 rounds to reach this size rug. (30 divided by 2 = 15 rounds)
The starting foundational chains is the MOST important part of creating a rug because it dictates the overall size & shape of your finished project. From then on, simply follow the pattern for the ends of each round!!
Does that make sense? If not, PLEASE reach out again!!
Your oval cheat sheet, does it go beyond 12 rounds? If I want to make an oval rug that has 15 rounds, will the cheat sheet cover those extra 3 rounds?
Why are you placing the extra stitches in the areas that you have chosen? I know so that the rug doesn't buckle . Does the location affect the shape of the rug?
Great question! Yessss! The extra stitches are not only to relieve tension & allow your rug to lay perfectly flat but ALSO to assure your rug will be perfectly shaped! It's a no-fail method of creating your rugs - both crocheted & toothbrush/amish knot! Thanks for asking!
Does it matter the hook size?
Hello! The ideal size hook to use when working with our 6 ply Jute or our 6 ply Bonnie Craft Cord is a "Q" (16mm). But keep in mind that you can use this same pattern to crochet FABRIC rugs. We use the same "Q" hook with our 2" wide fabric strips. If you want a tighter weave, a "P" size works ideally - particularly for placemats!
Some cut their fabric strips 1 1/2" wide clear up to 3" wide. I normally decide my fabric rug projects & the hook I'll be using based on the width & the weight of the fabric used. The heavier the fabric, the narrower my strips. The lighter the fabric the wider my strip. And I normally ONLY use a Q or P hook.
Thank you for your videos. I just finished a couple small jute rugs and I'm wondering what you recommend for cleaning/caring for them? Thanks.
You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching & for reaching out! I'm going to share another video you might appreciate - all about the maintenance of our jute rugs!
Here you go! A little past the 3 minute mark!

Thanks Lora. @@RagstoRugsbyLora
You're welcome! Did the video answer all your questions?
Yes it did :-) @@RagstoRugsbyLora
Awesome!
Your video tutorials are wonderful. You keep saying how cheap the supplies are but obviously you don't live in Canada. For every video I have looked up the supplies and everything is horribly expensive for us and shipping is out of this world these days. Very sad. :( The cheapest I could find the Bonnie cord was two balls for $30. and that was on amazon. I would have to buy two sets and that would be $60. so no making a bunch of rugs for family and friends. It's so discouraging.
Thank you so much, Susan! I appreciate hearing you say that!
I am sooooo sorry you are faced with such high shipping costs there in Canada! Wish there were something we could do about that. :/
Hope you'll stay in touch!
Do you get free shipping with Amazon prime there? Just wondering....
Everything keeps increasing in price! I'd suggest not getting any name brand jute - like what you can get at dollar stores. However, you run the risk of the jute having an oil, gasoline type smell to it.
I would like to know which method you like best? A crocheted rug or a toothbrush rug? And why?
Hello! I love creating rugs with both methods! Tough question!!
If I HAD to choose between them however, I would choose crocheted. The primary reason would be portability. You can take a crocheted rug project with you anywhere - in the car, on the couch with family, to a friends house, to the beach - just to name a few!
With toothbrush/amish knot I prefer to work on the flat. And generally you'll find me at my dining room table with my project laying on my wool ironing mat. I can quickly move the project when it's time to eat. However, back to the table when I return to it.
You could easily set up a card table if you wanted to watch a movie with family while working on it, but there simply isn't room in my living room for that.
Some friends make toothbrush rugs in their laps. I've never had success keeping my rug shaped nicely & laying flat doing this.
Here's a video demonstrating the toothbrush method:
ua-cam.com/video/N2I7ehdQGbk/v-deo.html
Thanks for asking!
I would like to make a suggestion, just for you to try. I start with a slip knot and chain 10-12 crochet chains as the foundation. Then I use the toothbrush tool and go around the foundation on each side of the chains. I add the fabric as you do. But I don’t use a runner thread. I continue to loop around the previous row and knot as you would a toothbrush rug, just no internal runner. It makes for a lower profile rug. Softer and less fabric needed. Let me know if you try it. Thanks
Interesting! I've got 3 projects in the works, but I'll give your idea a shot ... soon! Thanks for staying in touch!
When working with jute, do you use anything to keep your hands from chafing or getting rough?
Hello, Peggy! So happy you've reached out. Personally, I don't have any issues working with jute. However, I HAVE heard from others who comment it is somewhat rough. Particularly with those who usually crochet with yarn. I've heard from several who keep a bottle of lotion beside them & that helps a lot! You might try that!
Jute is a WONDERFUL fiber to work with! I hope you'll give it a try!
I've found that if you cry yourself to sleep at night, it will help sooth your pain.
Hi mem 👌
Happy rug making!
What if I have 3mm/6ply jute? Do I change hook size and do more rows? 😢 I haven't a clue what to do.. SOS, please?
Good Morning! Happy you reached out!
What you want for these rugs is a 6mm/6ply - the perfect weight to use with a "Q" sized crochet hook. It may not seem like much, but the difference between 3mm & 6mm is a lot! What you picked up I suspect more of a Jute Twine. I normally use a jute twine to make small craft items or for a decorative crocheted edge.
Over the years working with jute I've learned there are many terms used. There is Jute, Twine, Jute Twine, Cord, Macrame Cord, Bailing/Landscaping Twine - just to name a few.
And then of course you have to study the weight of the cord/twine. Each make a HUGE difference!
Without seeing the product you have, it's hard for me to determine what size hook to use. So sorry!!

Hi, is it okay to use 4mm jute?
I’m struggling to find 6mm
Hello! We sell the jute from our webstore. Here's a quick link (click on jute): www.ragstorugs-bylora.com/
To answer you question, yes you can. You'll probably want to use a smaller hook than the "Q" that I used. And if so, you will need to consider those starting foundational chains to arrive at your desired overall rug size. Without knowing what your gauge will be using the 4mm jute, I can't tell you how many to plan on. However, if you measure them, the length should be approximately 1/3 of the overall length you are striving for. Hope that helps??
Stay in touch, okay?
I would have loved to buy from your store but I’m in the UK. If I use two 3mm strings at the same time would that give me the same effect as using the 6mm?
I'm not sure? I've never tried that.
If you decide to try that, make certain what you order is jute (sometimes called jute cord or jute rope) not jute twine. It's sometimes hard to tell the difference particularly if you are ordering on line. Jute is much heavier than jute twine and what we use is a 6 ply.
Keep me posted. I'd love to know how it goes for you!
Thank you 🙏
You're very welcome!! Please stay in touch!
What other yarn can I use instead of jute. TY
Hello, Kathy!!
You can use MANY different fibers! Fabric, Bonnie Craft Cord, Cora's Craft Cord. Same pattern & Same hook ... just different fiber used!
Here's a video you might enjoy introducing Bonnie Craft Cord! You'll love it!
ua-cam.com/video/KAMt10NQgyc/v-deo.html
why 6 mm, 6strands???
Hello!! 6mm/6ply jute is a heavier weight & perfectly appropriate for our floor rugs - it's comparable to what is used often for hanging baskets (also known as macrame cord). It's strong & it's durable.
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to jute. There is jute twine, jute rope, jute string, burlap, & sisal to name a few.
Online pictures can be confusing. What looks like a giant roll of 6mm/6ply jute can actually be a small roll of 6mm/6ply jute TWINE. We've heard from MANY disappointed customers from this quandary.
A 900 ft. roll of 6mm/6ply jute should weight between 6 & 7 pounds. Anything less will most likely be jute twine, or landscaping jute.
Does that help?
