Pattern Steps

1. Foundation Row

Chain 38. The stitch pattern is based on multiples of 5, plus 3. (35 + 3 = 38)
(Tip: Finished width is approx. 46cm. To make a custom size, chain any multiple of 5, then add 3.)

2. Row 1 (Cluster Groups)

Skip the first 3 chains (count as first double crochet).
Double crochet in the next 4 chains (5 double crochets in total, including the turning chain).
Chain 1, skip next chain.
In the following 4 chains, work one double crochet in each (group of 4 double crochets).
Repeat: Chain 1, skip a chain, work 4 double crochets in the next 4 chains.
Continue until the last 5 chains. Work 5 double crochets into these last 5 chains for a finished edge.
Your first row ends with groups of 5 double crochets at each edge and groups of 4 in between, separated by chain-1 spaces.

3. Row 2 (Chain Arches)

Chain 1, turn.
Single crochet in the first stitch.
Chain 4, single crochet in the next chain-1 space.
Repeat this sequence across the row: chain 4, single crochet in chain-1 space.
At the end, after your last arch, chain 4, single crochet in the top of the turning chain of the previous row.

4. Row 3 (Repeat First Row)

Chain 3, turn (counts as first dc).
Work 4 double crochets in the first chain-4 space (first group of 5, including turning chain).
Chain 1, work 4 dc in the next arch.
Repeat: Chain 1, 4 dc in next arch, until you reach the end.
Work 5 double crochets (including starting chain) at each side edge.

5. Continue Alternating

Repeat Row 2 and Row 3 until the rug reaches your desired length (sample: about 58cm).
End with a Row 2 (chain arch row).

6. Final Edging

Chain 1, turn.
Single crochet in first stitch.
Chain 4, single crochet between each group at the sides of the rug (into the spaces between rows for a neat edge).
Corners: When you reach a corner, make a chain 4, single crochet directly in the corner to turn smoothly.
Continue all around the rug for a clean border.
Join to the first stitch with a slip stitch.

7. Last Border Round

Slip stitch into the first chain arch to start.
Chain 3, work 3 double crochets in same arch (4 dc total).
Continue: In each chain-4 arch, work 4 double crochets.
At the corners, create 4 double crochets for a smooth turn.

8. Finishing

Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle, hiding them behind the work.
Use the hook or needle to tuck in any thick or hard-to-hide ends securely.

Tutor’s Suggestions

If your stitches are too loose, use groups of 3 dc instead of 4 in borders.
Adjust the starting chain and repeats to build your rug to any size.
The chunky yarn works up quickly and makes it easier to see mistakes—perfect for practice projects.

Entrance or bedside rug
Mat for bathrooms or kitchens

Tip

For perfectly tidy borders, block your rug flat after finishing to smooth out any wavy edges and even up your stitches.
