    Plush Plus Rug

    Published: Oct 26, 2017 · Modified: Jun 10, 2021 by Tamara Kelly · 18 Comments

    Floor rug? Bath mat? The Plush Plus Rug is at home in any room - and it's so much fun to watch the stitch pattern come together with this free crochet rug pattern!

    Made with Lion Brand Fast-Track, the Plush Plus Rug features a simple geometric pattern worked in a combination of overlay stitches and back loop only that creates really clean lines. And all this texture adds to the thick luxury of this pretty rug pattern! To change colors, I pulled the new color to the front every time, which gave me this great edge without adding an edging.

    Shown here in just two colors, I would love to make this pattern again working the blue section in a different color every time. Or how neat would it be with the dark and light color flipped? And you can make it into a whole hallway runner with more repeats. The possibilities are endless with the Plush Plus Rug pattern!

        That's a bit (or a lot) beyond my own knitting skills, I'm afraid. At least for now. 🙂

      Very nice but one question, would it be wise to place a non slip mat underneath to avoid slipping accident?

      The side where you carry the yarn up looks so neat in your photos. Mine does not. Any tips?

        My best advice is to always turn and add the new yarn from the same direction. So when you switch colors, you'll want to always bring the new color up in front of the old color. Does that make sense?

        Twist the two yarns together, then pull the new color into the last two stitches of the old color on the hook. See if that doesn't make it neater

      Instead of using a super bulky yarn, could I use 2 strands of Red Heart Super Saver (medium weight)?

      Love this pattern, Tamara!! Yarn is now discontinued - any suggestions as to a substitution? Or will any bulky yarn do?
      Thanks!!

      For the plush plus rug Lion Brand Fast-Track yarn is used but it is discontinued. What do you recommend as a replacement yarn?
