Step-by-Step Pattern

- Using light beige yarn, chain 69 (or a multiple of 8 plus 5 for desired width).
- Your chain should be around 35 cm wide for 69 chains.
2. Main Body – Fantasy Stitch 31
- Begin by skipping three chains. In the next chain, work one double crochet, then another in the next chain.
- Skip two chains; in the next, make one double crochet.
- Continue working groups of double crochets as described:
- Three chains to climb
- Work three double crochets in the high point as the base
- Repeat this sequence for the entire row.
- Turn, make three chains, and work double crochets as per the pattern, maintaining your groups.
- Repeat Fantasy Stitch 31 until you reach your desired length (recommended: about 96 cm or 1 meter).
3. Finishing the Edges
- Work a final row with single crochets to keep the edge straight.
- If needed, add single crochets between round ends for an even, ripple-free finish.
- Use a tapestry needle or crochet hook to weave in ends and tidy up.
4. Color Border
- Switch to dark brown yarn for the border.
- Join at the edge and work single crochet stitches all around, keeping corners neat.
5. Second Color Border (Optional)
- Switch back to lighter beige and work another border row as desired.
6. Edge Groups & Corners
- Start a new row with light beige yarn.
- Chain five, then work groups of double crochets into spaces, separated by two chains.
- At corners, work 12 double crochets (double the group size) for a smooth turn.
- Repeat around the rug.
7. Final Border
- With dark brown yarn, work groups of six double crochets into each space, separated by a single crochet.
- At corners, work 12 double crochets for a rounded effect.
- Finish with a slip stitch in the third chain of the first group, secure and weave in ends.
8. Finishing Touches
- Use a tapestry needle to weave in loose ends neatly.
- For a professional finish, lightly steam the rug using a damp cloth and a steam iron (do not place the iron directly on the crochet).
