How To Crochet A Clothesline Bath Rug

Hey friends! I made this bath mat by purchasing an inexpensive clothesline for $4.88! I used scrap yarn as well. It’s a beginner friendly crochet project and is fun no matter what your skill level. The entire rug is made with single crochet stitches. I hope you enjoy it! XO Jessica

(Disclaimer that I have yet to try this with crocheting around clothesline and that might change things, I'm about to give that a go now, but I crochet in the round a lot for other projects.) For anyone that might happen to come across this, there is a way to math out the increases when going in a spiral if that makes you more comfortable. If you start with six stitches before looping the rope, you want six increases in every round. Example: R1: 6sc R2: inc in each sc (12) R3: sc, inc around (18) R3: 2 sc, inc in next sc (24) R4: 3 sc, inc in next sc (30) R5: 4 sc, inc in next sc (36) And so on, with one more sc added to between your increases in each new round. If you want it to cup up like a basket, then stop doing increases and just do sc around to the height of the basket.

The best way I have found to figure out where to put increases, is to put an increase in each increase from the row before.

This cute it would help if you show how you finished!

[@bettykuykendall2083]

AWESOME BLOSSOM ♥️🌷♥️ Thank you - this is a fantastic idea.! These rugs could be used everywhere.😍

[@gloriadelagarza2162]

This is beautiful, thank yo very much for sharing it. My question is how to finish it? This is the first time I’m using clothes line.

[@jeanperren6094]

Hi. I have got off to a good start but I don’t know how to finish the back where a piece of rope is hanging out. Should I cut the end off and carefully neaten the end? Perhaps glue it into place or hand sew it into place? Do you gave a tutorial to show how this would be done? I am making a rug for my grandson and your tutorial has been a great help. Thank you

[@remedy9648]

What a great idea! I have to give this a try...thanks for sharing💕🙏💕

[@suallehhassan3814]

[@annalouux8553]

Thank you so much I needed a tutorial on like yours just love it

[@Calchick7]

Very nice project! thanks Jessica

[@heididietrich9800]

This looks AWESOME!

[@mamainastitch]

Thanks so much, Heidi!

[@heididietrich9800]

@@mamainastitch Are you kidding ME? I saved it already and am going to get some clothesline to make it. Would you have a problem if I made them and sold them in my Etsy shop? Is this your design? The reason I sell is because I got sick with epilepsy and had to stop working so I tried to figure out what I could do to help myself even a little. I'm thinking cats would like these too.

[@lorrainelawrie7994]

How do you cover the rope showing as you did the circle????

[@lnorrisnorris4080]

Lovely

[@Freb50004]

This is really useful! I just want to make a meditation mat

[@maryhenry6820]

Thanks so much for the video I plan on making one for me and my mother

[@Sprocket215]

So cool! Thank you!

[@OneTrueWord1988]

Hi! Does anyone here know how to finish this rug? Thanks!

[@sheriwillingham6875]

Look like as it gets bigger, you are only going in each stitch once rather than twice in a stitch when you began. I'm I seeing this or am I mistaken; or should i continue twice in each stitch, but it's a great video.

[@ForTheLoveOfYarn]

I was looking at that too.

[@tammyk.stresslessjoy1524]

Great concept. Use cotton yarn ends.colorfull

[@knitaddict7829]

This is a great idea! I love the color but my only question is what kind of yarn did you use for this project? Thanks

[@karenzilverberg4699]

She said that if you want it absorbent to use cotton; however, she used yarn from her stash. Therefore, use whatever pleases you.

[@jeweltone1546]

Thanks so much! This is the best video. I found others too long and hard to understand. Just started a few minutes ago and already turning out great! Thanks!

[@sweetmelisamakesmore5344]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. Do you have to do more increases the more rounds you do or is the increase the same(2 sc, then 2 sc in the same stitch)? Thank you so much for another wonderful pattern!

[@ForTheLoveOfYarn]

I'm wondering the same thing.

[@pixiebellshop]

My cats always end up taking these over and I never get to use them as a rug lol.

[@unme8230]

Great job 👍

[@ndlovujoyce7286]

Thanks it's good

[@aneezakhosa329]

Great idea. Thanks

[@kayceegreer4418]

Wow - thanks for this!

[@pattymanzo8861]

How much yarn

[@rachellemurray7544]

Can you wash this in the washer?

[@ginafrechette8184]

Do you have a printable pattern available?

[@karenzilverberg4699]

Thanks!

[@christiebaker3949]

This is so cool!!! Thanks for sharing. By chance are you jayda's mother-in-law?

[@pattymanzo8861]

Am I doing 2 singles in each stitch or one single

[@dianeshea4192]

I tried to make this, at first it was turning out well, now it's curling up. It won't lay flat.

[@namratanesarikar3925]

Same. Did you figure out a solution?

[@katherineallsopp2687]

Try more increases

[@lanae0403]

How long did it take you to finish your rug?

[@mariamaro7674]

Dónde encuentro las instrucciones de la bolsa verde?

[@jeweltone1546]

It's starting to ruffle. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I changed from a smaller to larger hook?

[@iloveamerica53]

I would think so Jessica.

[@kimprice2172]

Did you figure out how to keep it from ruffling? I've tried tried adding more stitches less stitches and it keeps ruffling no matter what I do

[@ForTheLoveOfYarn]

@@kimprice2172 I noticed that too. Yet no answer for that question is posted.

[@yliberal6355]

Can this be machine washed & dried??

[@kathie9823]

I don't see why not. They may take longer to dry. I am going to use 100% cotton clothes line.

[@bonnebethreaves6045]

What size hook is being used please?

[@kathie9823]

Size H or 5mm

[@carolplyler8502]

I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I can't get this to work. Huge disappointment 😪
