Crocheted Sisal Rug

Step 5 Border

Once the rug is the size you want, you're pretty much done, and can cut the end of the sisal and weave it through the edges.  If you want to get fancy though, you can crochet a border around it.

I did a series of slip stitches, which is like a simplified single crochet.  Instead of pulling the new loop through the first and creating another loop to pull through both, you just pull the initial loop you make through both the loops on the hook.  One less step. 

Make two to four rows of slip stitches all the way around the rug - sides and everything.  When you come to a corner, make three slip stitches in each stitch so it will have enough material to turn the corner easily without making it too tight.

Enjoy!
