vintage knitting pattern for rugs

Bestway 1359R: Fabulous vintage knitting pattern bedside rugs 1930s. Hand knitted in very thick wool on old size 3 or 6.5mm easy and so different. A great challenge.

It is not so important what size needles you use or the size of the finished rug, but that it is a firm stable fabric that is produced, this will be easier with a thick firm wool or yarn - not too soft. The rare breeds wool, especially Herdwick, is great for this. The one on the takes 4lbs ( 1.80 kg) 6ply rug wool and measures 50"x 30"
