giant doily rug
Blown up your doily and move it from table to floor!!!! Giant doily rug or floor mat is one of the most wanted crochet rugs in the recent years since it was created and made well-known by Ladies & Gentleman. Look at it, doesn’t its sublimity spice up the floor and the home decor? This giant doily rug is for my sister’s new house, I am going to make another one for mine when I am moving in… hopefully end of this year.

The pattern I used is a modified 8-Point Poinsettia Doily from a Japanese crochet book, but basically you can use your favorite doily pattern to make it. Personally, I like my rug to be denser (lesser holes) with more double crochet stitches, so I chose this doily pattern. The crochet hook to do this giant doily rug is size 10mm (N hook), it come in a set of 4 by Susan Bates Multi-Pack-Contains Sizes L,M,N,P. The joining up of this Ace braided cotton clothesline rope took part of the time since it comes in 200 feet each and I used 7 of them to make this. If you can get a long roll of continuous of similar rope that is able to crochet, by all means, use it!

The total working hour to complete this doily rug is approximately 16 hours. It is easy and fast to make but might need some arms, wrists and fingers strengths since the rope is fat and rigid compare to yarn. Well… I do have one problem, it is heavy and warm when I put it on my laps while working towards the end of the rug. I tried to put it on the floor, but bending down and crochet isn’t comfortable at all. Perhaps a chair in front of you would be a good idea to put the rug on while you crochet.

Let’s jump to the crochet pattern after this and watch me how to join the braided cotton clothesline rope that has fiber core in it.

R13 : slst back loop only in each st around. fasten off. Weave and hide yarn end.

Remark: 1 you can replace the magic ring with ch5, slst on the first ch to form a ring.
you may use up to 12 mm hook for looser tension, may require more ropes to crochet.

 

crochet ropeThe cotton braided rope and the 10mm crochet hook.
The pattern calls for 7 hanks of the rope, you will need to join the rope to become a continuous length.

 

Push the braided cotton jacket backward to expose the fiber core and sleeve in it at both ends that are joining.
Cut 1/2″ away at both ends.

 

join ropeOverlap both ends about 1/2″, wrap one of the sleeves around.

 

Stitch and wrap the thread around, pull it tight and repeat the stitch and wrap until the joint is secured.

 

Straighten the braided cotton jacket by pushing it forward, stitch and wrap the thread tightly to the core.

 

Push another jacket end forward and repeat the same sewing. It might be difficult to push the jacket forward, but if you wrap the thread tight enough, it will make the join less bulky and thus easier for you to push the jacket over.

 

Crochet as usual. The joint may appear harder and bulkier, so avoid it at those curves and loops.
Block it by damping the rug, then sit on some dry towels on the floor. Walk on it and press it down, leave it there until it is dry. You may replace the damp towers after this with the dry ones if your floor can’t take dampness. Don’t try to soak the rug in water, it will be very heavy for you to leave it up, provided you have some strong arms around to help up.
Spray a coat of Scotchgard after the rug is dry to protect it from dirt and stains if possible.

 

crochet-doily-rug-8Here is an update of the round 8 pattern where most of you got confused. The first ch3 is not counted as a dc, I also amended the pattern by adding an sc to end the round. Hope this picture is helpful enough to let you all have a clearer view.

      You may either send it to the laundrette for a professional cleaning or wash it yourself. If your rope is like mine, which is cotton, water washing and dyeing should be OK.

    Hi, I have the same “swirl” to my rug on completion that Clare mentioned in post 68.1.1. Is it likely that in R1 you have ch3, dc in the ring and then you have ch, but it doesn’t say how many to ch. Should I assume it is one ch or do you do two ch because you are doing a dc?

    Reply
    • Craft Passion -

      March 25, 2015 at 4:02 pm

      Hi Betty, the ch3 is deem as a dc stitch. The ring refers to magic ring and not the ch sts. Hope this helps.

    • Craft Passion -

      March 14, 2015 at 1:49 pm

      Hi Terri, no problem. The 17 stitches are the combo of dc and ch, not solely dc. Remember the dc+ch you did for 8 times, and add another dc into the same 5ch sp in round 10? This is the 17 dc-ch stitches. Hope this helps 🙂

        It has a first part and says to repeat 8 times. Then there is a second part that says to repeat 8 times. Do I do the first part 8 times and then do the second part 8 times? It doesn’t look right.

          Round 10 – *ch3, sk dc, 1dc in each of next four dc, ch3, slst in 3rd ch of ch5, “1dc + ch1” for 8 times in ch5 sp, 1dc in same sp, slst in 3rd ch of ch5*, repeat* 8 times, slst in each of next three ch.

            March 9, 2015 at 10:47 am

            You are right, there are 9 dc in the 5ch sp. No problem. I am glad that you brought this up. Crochet pattern can be written in many ways, I wish to improve the pattern so that it is easy to understand.

    ch3, 1dc in the same st, 2dc in next dc, ch2, *sk ch, 2dc in each of next two dc, ch2*, repeat* 7 times, slst in 3rd ch at the beginning round.

    What on earth does sk ch mean. I am guessing it is skip chain

      Hi Sandie,
      No guessing, Sandie, the abbreviation section clearly stated that sk is skip and ch is chain, so sk ch is simply skip chain. Enjoy your crochet.

    Hi, thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I was wondering if you worked with the rope directly from the package or if you soaked or washed it first to soften the fibers. I know this will be a tough project physically but my rope is so still that the stitches are suffering and looking a little wonky. Just thought id ask and thanks again!

      I worked straight away from the pack. It is braided cotton, so it is not as bad as those polyester clothesline rope. Perhaps the one you bought has a coating on it, just curious.

    I’m on round 10 which says

    R10 : *ch3, sk dc, 1dc in each of next four dc, ch3, slst in 3rd ch of ch5, “1dc in next ch5 sp, ch1″, repeat” 8 times, 1dc in same space, slst in 3rd ch of ch5*, repeat* 8 times, slst in each of next three ch.

    1st off when i ch 3, i have a 5 sp from the last round..so i skip the whole 5 sp, then skip the 1st and last dc from the 6 dc’s that are there putting 4 dc’s between them, sl st in the 3rd chain, and (this is the most confusing part) 1 dc in the ch 5 space. which makes it so scrunched up when im done with this round.

    Hopefully you understand how I explained that. I’ll wait until you reply to continue because after this round I have no idea how you get 17 dc’s in row 11.

    (btw if i look closely at your pictures it looks like you have 9 dc in the ch 5 space?)

    Hello! How are you? I’m in the process of making this beautiful rug and I’m on round 5 but I realized I have the right size rope but it doesn’t seem to be Solid Braid cotton, there is a material in the center of the rope that is surrounded by some cotton, almost like very thin strand of plastic. Should I stop adding on to this and start all over with the slid braid cotton rope? Will there be a difference on how it starts to wear? Thank you so much in advance!

      Braided cotton is more resistant to wear, if it is not braided then your rug could wear faster but it is all depending where place the rug too. High traffic area tends to wear faster. So far, this rug still looking good at my sister’s house. The one I knitted also still looks new though it is a little soil as I placed it at the entrance of my house.

    Hello
    I can’t wait to get started on this rug. I’ve read the pattern through and the questions and comments and there’s one part I don’t understand: from R7 the pattern asks you to make dc or sc “in ch sp”…in chain space? I don’t know this term. Would you mind explaining this? No one else has asked about it which makes me think I’ve misunderstood or I’ve still got some basics to learn! Thanks very much for your help.

It was much cheaper than the bundled clothesline rope and will be less joining together of ends. Thanks for sharing the pattern and great idea.

      I finished the doily rug and it looks great. 🙂 Everyone who sees it loves it. I love it draped over my ottomans too. I already have family members wanting one.
      Note: It may be that my clothesline was bulkier than the one called for in the pattern, but I had to decrease the amount of dc stitches in the last rows. It had started to ruffle which was pretty but a tripping hazard.

      It works but the finished size may varies as the Hometown yarn is not as stiff at the cotton clothesline. The quantity of yarn needed may be different too. If you happen to try it out with the Hometown yarn, please do keep us update how does it turn out. Thanks.

    I love this rug!! I’m a little confused on row 8, where I start with a ch 3 and then 1 dc in the next 8, that gives me a total (with the ch 3) of 9 stitches on that section and then on the repeats only 8 stitches? I’m confused, should I be doing a slst like in the previous row, then getting a total of 8 dc across?

    Reply
    • Craft Passion -

      August 30, 2013 at 11:52 am

      The first ch3 is not counted as 1 dc. Each repeat has only 8 dc. You are right on the last part, there should be a sc (not slst) to the ch3 at the beginning of the round (where confused that it is counted as a dc stitch). I have amended the pattern accordingly. Thanks for the question.
      I also added a picture in the tutorial to make it clearer for you to see how the round begins and ends.
      Hope this help.

    Hi, I’m on R6 and the rug is getting wavy. My stiches are tight using the correct size hook and the number of stiches are correct. Is this normal and will flatten out as I go? Also what are the dry towers you are referring to?

      May 29, 2013 at 12:14 am

      Hi Brend,
      A little wavy is acceptable as the chain stitches (in between the dc stitches) will help to adjust it when you lay it flat on the floor. Blocking up the rug will help too. But, if it is too much then probably it will not settle flat after finish.
      As for “towers”, it is supposed “towels”, I typed it wrongly… :p Sorry!

    Thanks so much for this tutorial! I pilfered my husband’s ratty tshirts, made a lot of tshirt yarn and made a nice soft bathmat! I ended up ripping it out when I was about halfway through and eliminating 1 petal because it was buckling and now it lays flat. I love it! I’d like to make another, bigger one. I think instead of 2 decreases on each petal, I’ll just do 1 and try to add a few rows. Next one will be in super bulky yarn.

      Hi Stephanie, for the first cluster, don’t skip dc since the first 3 ch is considered the 1st dc. There are total 10dc (including the 3chains at the beginning round), so, just make 8dc stitches out of the 10 stitches. I will put a note in the instruction and make it clearer. Thanks for suggestion.

    Hi Joanne, Do you think this rug pattern would work well with your t-shirt yarn?

      Hi Tammy, sure it will, but you will need to change the hook size according to t-shirt yarn. Also, the doily of this pattern might come out smaller.

    Hi Jess See, you are absolutely right about the coziness during the rainy days. I think it is also good as a foot massager 🙂
