Woven knit rug/lawnchair yarn
A few years ago my parents got me three colors of woven rug yarn to
replace the seats on lawn chairs. I lost the directions to replace the seats on the lawnchairs and now have used the woven rug yarn to start a crocheted rug but all I get is a single crochets thing resembling a basket. My mother sates that when she made them 40 years ago she recalls having to place a marker along the single stitches and do something different, but she can't remember the whole process. I would like to purchase more of the woven rug yarn (wonder cord I think she called it) and get complete directions for the process. I remember she made small throw rugs for the bathrooms in our house. If any can help me with any of my questions, I welcome your responses ANJ |

If any can help me with any of my questions, I welcome your responses I think the markers were probably to show where she had to increase. If you crochet in a circle and don't increase every so often, you'll get a tube (basket). To make a flat circle, you have to increase six or seven stitches in every round. If you space them evenly, you get a circle. If you cluster them in two locations opposite each other, with a straight space between them, you get an oval. "Wonder Cord" sounds like it ought to be a brand name for macrame cord. Hobby departments might carry something like it. Also you could look at rug yarn brands in places like JoAnne's. =Tamar |
