Crochet Rag Rug Pattern No 321

Crocheted Rag Rug:  This pattern gives directions to crochet the block motif rug pictured. This attractive rug was made of old silk stockings, bits of silk and rayon knit underwear, dyed. It is great fun to make and gives one a splendid opportunity to make use of discarded stockings and dresses of crepe de chine or satin. It is quickly made and the finished rug is extremely effective.

This is a Mail Order pattern purchased through newspaper advertisements.  The pattern was marketed as National Needlework Bureau No 321 in 1941. 

Materials: For bedroom and bathroom rugs, cotton material is very practical, old sheets or any odd pieces may be used, for these we would suggest lighter shades in rose, blue, green or yellow, with a darker border around the edge. For other purposes silk pieces are most attractive, these may be made from discarded stockings, knit underwear and dresses of crepe or satin, and we would suggest deeper and living room shades in brown, tan, henna, green and orange.
