Isn't this crocheted giant doily rug made with two colors of t-shirt yarn just gorgeous? I can say that since while it is my pattern, it's not my ingenuity, the two color idea that is! This is the work of Liat, who blogs in Hebrew about her crochet love, here. And the two color idea was just one of those things....she ran out of turqoise and decided to use what she had on hand!

You can crochet with yarn made from old t-shirts, and making a little rug from t-shirt yarn is a great way to start! Okay, I have to admit, this rug is so little that I had wanted to add to it before sharing it with you, but there's no time like the present. So grab some of those old t-shirts, or thrift some, and get started..... crocheting with recycled materials is so much fun!

Crocheting rugs from recycled sheets, comforter covers and pillow cases is simple and the results are great! The rug is heavy weight and can be thrown into the washing machine for cleaning. Plus it's just a great feeling to make a gorgeous rug from rags.....what more can I say? I actually made this rug over a year ago, and put it aside to save for a publishing project that hasn't yet happened, so lucky you I decided to share it!
