Pull this loop through the other loop on the hook (from the last ball) and then continue crocheting. Insert the hook in the next rug pad hole and pull up the string loop between the first two poms of the new ball of yarn. When you need to add a new ball, pull up the second loop of the string *before* the last pom. There is a lot of room for “fudging” here, so there are no hard and fast rules, and you may find there is a particular method of counting/skipping holes in the pad that works well for you.Īs you continue the spiral, try to keep the “rounds” about an inch apart, and make sure the poms are always pulled down against the rug pad fabric. You may need to adjust the number of holes skipped as you go. Insert hook in next pad hole and yarn over with the same section of string, pull that loop through to the back of the fabric and through the other loop on the hook.Ĭontinue working like this, making 2 slip stitches for each string section, while curving around the pad in a gentle spiral, as shown below. Insert hook in pad hole about 1/2 inch from last hole used, yarn over with the next section of string, pull through pad and through other loop on hook, pulling the second pom close to the fabric. Insert hook in next pad hole and yarn over with the same section of string, pull that loop through to the back of the fabric and through the other loop on the hook. Pull that loop through to the back of the rug, so that the first pom is held close to the pad fabric. Yarn over with the string section between the pom at the end and the next pom. Insert hook into the hole closest to the marked center of your rug pad. Mark the center of your pad with a pen or marker. Prep your Rug Pad: If needed, cut your rug pad to your desired finished shape and size.
