Look what I have just completed! I told you that I haven’t got enough with locker hooking, I just made a locker hook rug. This craft is really hooking me up. If you haven’t known how to do this, I have the tutorials for it, from the basic preparation, how to locker hook, and the finishing touch. Hover over to the tutorials now and get started with this fantastic craft.
This Welcome Home locker hook Rug / floor mat measures 78cm x 52cm (30 11/16” x 20 1/2“).
As for the material for this locker hook rug, I used 4 solid colors of poly jersey interlock, dark brown (1 meter), turquoise (2 meters), olive green (1/2 meter), and baby pink (1/2 meter), cut them into 2cm wide strips. I especially love jersey interlock because both sides of the fabric are identical, and it frays very little. Thus, it will give a fresher color and a neater look to the project.
Let’s get ready for this project…..
“Welcome Home” Locker Hook Rug
Download the free pattern for the Welcome Home locker hook rug by clicking the link.
Follow the tutorial of the Basic Preparation to gather all the materials you need, prepare the edge of the hooking rug canvas, and cut the fabrics into 2 cm wide strips.
Begin to locker hook the locker hook rug pattern onto the canvas, don’t forget to pre-draw the pattern onto the canvas for easy reference. Upon sewing the border, locker-hook the brown border in a circular. The internal pattern (turquoise background, the words, the foot, and paw prints) is in a horizontal direction.
Hide all the ends and sew a backing to cover the back of the work. If you are not sure how to do this, you can go here for the tutorial.
I hope you like this locker hook rug. Drop me questions if you have some!

Thank you for posting these great tutorials. I want to start making locker hook rugs but was wondering if there is anything I can use to make the back of the rug non-slip. The only thing I've found online is a liquid rubber material that is brushed on and then dries to make a non-slip surface on the rug. Is there anything else you could suggest?

There is Anti-Slip Underlay mat that you can use, here is the example. Hope you are able to find the similar one around you.

I have been doing locker hooking for two yrs, my favorite projects are hot pads 9x8 inches I've made 40 of them! I just completed a 24x35 rug in multiple colors,very fun! I have used graph paper to create patterns, hearts, trees, apples, the possibilties are unlimited! I prefer cottons for the hot pads as other fabrics may scorch when something hot from the stove is placed on them. The rugs work well with wool, denim, and flannels as they are stronger fabrics. I wash them in cold water and line dry them. I hope this is of help to those that want to try Locker Hooking, it's fun and portable for those long road trips!!
