Latch-Hook Pirate Rug

"It doesn't take that long to do" chirped the lovely girl in Jarrolds. That was well over a year ago and I am currently on row 33 of 50. so it takes quite a while. But, for those of you with some spare time who want a go at a new hobby, here's how to make an awesome rug!

What You Need
A rug kit
OR
lots of pieces of wool about 6 or 7cm long
sqaured paper (to draw a pattern on)
rug canvas (a bit like a tennis racket)
AND
a latch hook




Fold a piece of wool over the hook beneath the hinged latch.

Then push the hook through the canvas, starting at the bottom left of your pattern.





 Pull the loose ends into the hook and, as you pull the hook back through the canvas, allow the latch to close around the wool.
You should end up with a slip knot like this.

Repeat, thousands of times!
If you lose your place in the pattern turn the rug over to count your stitches.



 I'll let you know how to finish it when I get there!!
