Hi Laura, make sure you are making all the stitches in the back loops only. Working in the back loops only is what makes the ridges. If you click on the tutorial for working on the back loops only (right above the pattern instructions) you can see how to work it.

Hi Michelle, unfortunately there isn’t an easy way to cut crochet work without having it all unravel. I’ve taken apart a lot of my crochet work after spending a lot of time on it so I know how you feel!

Hi there!!! I love this pattern and being new to the yarn/crocheting world, this was an extremely easy pattern to follow. That being said, I’ve made the rug too long and not wide enough! My question is, can I “cut” the rug in half and attach the two pieces together to make it wide enough? I hate to think I need to unravel ALL of my work! Thanks so much!!!

Judy…..
I made 3 in both 3′x4 and 3′x5′… cotton yarn. jute and twine. Came out great. Jute and twine was and will be used for front door entry, I am sure it would work for a deck to kitchen area as well. The cotton is used in bathroom. Thanks for the pattern idea.

Hi Elisa, sorry I don’t have any at the moment. It has been on my to-do list forever! You may have some luck doing a quick Google search for the patterns though.
