When you want to do needlework and do a thing that is not only original, but also useful, old T-shirts can come to the rescue, which for a long time occupy a place in the cupboard. Knitting rugs from old T-shirts is a simple, calming, interesting activity. Such mats were knitted by our grandmothers, using rags and unnecessary things. And we want to offer a simplified version - a master class for crocheting a rug from old T-shirts with your own hands.
We will need:
- T-shirts;
- hook thickness from 10 to 19 mm;
- scissors.
- Before making a rug from T-shirts, you must cut each of them into equal stripes (from 2 to 5 centimeters). Start from the bottom, moving in a spiral. After reaching the sleeves, cut straight at the seams. The longer the strip is, the better. Fold it in a ball to facilitate the process of knitting. The rest of the T-shirt is also cut in strips. Short ones are needed in order to make transitions. You can use for this purpose a T-shirt of contrasting color.
- If the glomeruli are not large enough, that is, the strips are short, you can extend them. To do this, make one small incision at the end of the first and second strips. Then align the strips so that the holes on them match.
- After that, the end of the second strip (in our case it's blue) is drawn through the aligned holes so that it is on the bottom. Tighten the resulting knot tightly. In this way, you can attach the remaining strips if you are planning to tie a large mat.
- "Thread" ready, it's time to start knitting. The mat fits in exactly the same way as a regular napkin, that is, by closing a circle of crocheted air loops. The only difference is the size of the hook, but after all, the "thread" is unusual! So, you need to tie a chain of four loops, then make a column in the first loop (without the crochet). Next, we form a ring - we poke the hook into the first loop. In the center of the ring we knit eight crochets without a crochet, we introduce a hook into the center and we thread the thread. Pulling the loop through the center, we get two loops on the hook. We thread the thread and stretch it through two loops. To make the first row, we sew without a crochet in each column of the first ring two more bars. As a result, you get 16 posts. The point is that our circle will constantly expand, as two columns will appear on each column of the corresponding row.
- When the mat of old T-shirts reaches the size you need, just tie a knot, fixing the end of the thread (you can tie it around the previous row).

Here such simple way it is possible and to open a case, and a useful thing in a life to acquire. The undeniable advantage of a rug from old T-shirts is that it, like ordinary things, can be washed in a washing machine. But for this you must be sure that the end of the thread is firmly fixed. Otherwise, you will not get a rug from the washing machine, but a string of strings.
Rug for half an hour
If you do not know how to crochet, use a cut of cloth-grid with large cells. Cut out a mat of any shape. Prepare strips cut from old T-shirts, and then simply tie them to a grid. Such mats in one form say that it will be convenient for the feet to tread on them! And the length of the "pile" rug you can easily adjust with scissors. Very bright and stylish look products made from strips of contrasting colors. In the children's room or at the bed such a soft and unusual rug will be very appropriate.
