Crochet rug made from old jersey tops
I'm something of a magpie and can't throw anything away if I think I can re-use it. So, I have a lot of stuff! I've been meaning to make a rug for my studio since I moved in a year ago and I finally got round to it. I cut up all my old jersey tops and then used a 12mm hook to crochet this rug, based on a doily pattern.

Step 1
Gather your materials. I used four vests and 8 t-shirts.
Step 2
Cut your jersey into strips. I like to work from the bottom up in a long spiral.
Step 3
Wind your jersey into balls and admire.
Step 4
Find a doily pattern you like, try ravelry for a good selection and start crocheting.
Step 5
Keep going
Step 6
Weave in any loose ends. Place on the floor and walk over it in bare feet. Admire.
