Pattern notes

The whole central section of the rug is done in single crochet, using a size L / 11 (8 mm) crochet hook with

3 strands of yarn put together. Should you wish to crochet with a different type of yarn, you should consider

selecting a type of yarn suitable to working with a size N / 15 (10) mm crochet hook (or two strands of yarn

suitable to working with a size H / 8 (5 mm) crochet hook).If your individual crocheting tension is on the

tight side, you can use a size M / 13 (9 mm) or N / 15 (10 mm) crochet hook. The intention is that of

keeping the base of the rug rather stiff and firm, so you may need to crochet with a tension that is a bit

tighter than the tension you're normally used to working with.

Central base panel

The rug’s central base panel is all done in single crochet, using three strands of

Scheepjes Colour Crafter yarn put together. Start with color 1316 Almelo (mint-

Surface-crochet borders

Once you’ve completed the base panel, proceed adding surface-crochet borders

done along the color changes of the panel itself. These decorative borders are

worked directly along the top of the panel in surface single crochet stitches with

the yarn held running above the right side surface of the rug.

All the rug’s surface crochet borders are done with 2 (two) strands of yarn put together and using a size

L/11 (8 mm) crochet hook.

Base panel with surface-crochet borders.

• the 1st surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1026 Lelystad (peach), with surface single crochet

stitches done along the color change between the mint-green and orange sections.

• the 2nd surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1002 Ede (black), with surface single crochet

stitches done along the color change between the mint-green and orange sections, i.e. right alongside

the 1st surface crochet border in peach. Here it is also necessary to join in the pom-pom yarn. To do so,

place the Rico Creative “Pompon” yarn color 019 baby pink along the crochet surface and catch up the

thread between the pom-poms directly while working the surface crochet stitches (i.e. every 2 surface

single crochet stitches), leaving the pom-poms to pop out.

• the 3rd surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1002 Ede (black), with surface single crochet

stitches done along the color change between the orange and yellow-green sections.

• the 4th surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1725 Ameland (dark-green), with surface single

crochet stitches done along the color change between the orange and yellow-green sections, i.e. right

alongside the 3rd surface crochet border in dark green.

• the 5th surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1725 Ameland (dark-green), in surface single

crochet stitches done along the color change between the yellow-green and black sections.

• the 6th surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1026 Lelystad (peach), with surface single crochet

stitches done along the color change between the black and the orange scalloped edging.

• the 7th surface crochet border is in Colour Crafter 1725 Ameland (dark-green), with surface single

crochet stitches done along the color change between the black section and the orange scalloped

edging, i.e. right alongside the 6th surface crochet border in peach.

Large flower

(crocheted in two versions, one using two strands of yarn and the other using a

single strand of yarn)

The large flowers crocheted using two strands of yarn put together and crochet hook size (!)K/10 (7 mm),

are all arranged and attached around the rug's outer edge. Crochet a total of 28 flowers, using Colour

Crafter 1435 Apeldoorn (bright fuchsia) and 1241 Den Bosch (medium pink) – the heart of the large flower

is done in Colour Crafter 1034 Urk (light-blue), this too with two strands of yarn put together.

When crocheted using a thinner yarn (i.e. a single strand of yarn and an E/4 (3,5 mm) crochet hook), this

pattern can also be used to make a smaller version of the large flower, to decorate the rug's central base

panel. Crochet a total of 5 flowers, using a single strand of Colour Crafter 1241 Den Bosch (medium pink)

and 1435 Apeldoorn (bright fuchsia) – the heart of the smaller version of the large flower is also done in

single strand, using Colour Crafter 1263 Leerdam (yellow).

(medium) single strand for the smaller version] :

Foundation: ch 3, ss 1 to join.

Rnd 1: ch 1, sc 7 in ring, ss 1 to join.

Rnd 2: ch 2 (counts as 1st dc), dc 1 in first ch, dc 2 in every st around, ss 1 to join (=16 dcs, photo 1).

Rnd 3: ch 3, skip 1 st, ss 1 in next st, repeat to end of rnd (=8 loops).

Rnd 4: [ss 1, ch 1, dc 1, tc 1, dc 1, sc 1] in each ch-3 loop of rnd 3, ss 1 in each ss of rnd 3 so that the

petals curve nicely. Repeat to end of rnd; for the last ss insert hook into the rear bump of the ss in row 3,

ready to crochet a rnd of new petals right behind the rnd just completed (photo 2, diagram 1).

Rnd 5: work 8 ch-4 loops on rear, closing each loop with ss 1 done in the rear bumps of each ss in rnd 3 (=

8 loops, diagram 2).

Rnd 6: [ss 1, ch 1, dc 1, tc 2, dc 1, sc 1] in each ch-4 loop of rnd 5, ss 1 in each ss of rnd 5 and repeat to

end of rnd (= 8 petals). This completes the two rnds of petals.

Large flower (continued, pg. 2)

Change to Colour Crafter 1241 Den Bosch (medium pink) double strand [or

Colour Crafter 1435 Apeldoorn (bright pink) single strand for the smaller version]:

Rnd 7: holding yarn above the crochet surface, insert hook in the gaps between the sts forming rnds 1 and

2 at center of flower, pull up a loop and ch 1 to join in yarn, surface single crochet all around and ss 1 to

close rnd (= 8 surface single crochet sts, photo 4 and 5, diagram 3).

Rnd 8: ch 3, insert hook in next st and ss 1, work five ch-3 loops on rnd 7, closing each loop with a ss

placed at irregular intervals so that they are not equally spaced (= 5 loops, photo 6, diagram 4).

st, dc 1 in next st, dc 1 and tc 1 in next

st, tc 1 and dc 1 in next st, dc 1 in next

st, sc 1 in next st, ss 1 in last st.

This completes one single leaf.

To make the double leaves, do not cut yarn and once you have ss 1 in last st to complete the first leaf,

chain 12, where the first 3 chains are meant to be the stem in the middle joining the two leaves. Proceed

making the second leaf on the remaining 9 chains the same way you worked the first leaf.

Crochet a total of 28

double leaves. Stitch

tips of leaves to the

finishing round of dc

done in peach (row 45),

then stitch center of
