Big Stitch Knit Rug

Our Big Stitch Knit Rug is scrumptious like a heavenly soft cloud and beautiful like a white-pebbled Sardinian beach. Sinking your feet into its cozy stitches is such a wonderful feeling you'll want it first thing in the morning and last thing at night!

With its farm-fresh natural fibers and jumbo sized stitches, the Big Stitch Knit Rug embraces homey rusticity with modern panache. A super easy slip stitch pattern gives it its lofty squishiness and amazing nubbly texture.

Like its circular cousin, the Big Stitch Crocheted Rug, this knit version is made out of Bag Smith's Big Stitch Alpaca. It seems to say, "Make me into a gorgeous rug!". Seventy percent alpaca reinforced by a touch of wool and nylon, this yarn is ready to withstand rigorous duty with dignity and beauty!

Can you recommend a less expensive yarn for this rug?

Thanks.

Hi Donna-

You can use Magnum doubled to get the same gauge. You will need double the yardage so for this project you would need 5 skeins of Magnum total. Here is a link:

Hi Victoria-

Unfortunately we can't tell you much about the dresser but it is definitely antique. Joelle believes it's from the 1800s and Swedish but that's all she knows.

Thanks for your question!

Hi there,

Amazing rug, I love it. I would like to try to make one for my house but as I am new a knitting, I don't understand how it's possible to do it with circular needles, as mentioned above. Is it not gonna end up like a tube at the end.

Sorry if my question seems ridiculous. I look forward to hearing from you,

Helen

@Helene, You don't join at the end of a row, but knit with the circular needs like with straight ones - turn the work and knit or purl away.

This way, the work is not too heavy and it allows for more stitches to be held.

Beautiful idea! I love it!
