Hi ! This is my first post!
This is a rag rug made with a crochet of 1.5 cm. You can find different kind of clothing in it: t shirt, scarf, dress, pants, sweater and even sheets & curtain. My best choice of fabric is 90% cotton and 10% spandex (it's look softer with it) but I also use a lot of 100% cotton, blends of cotton, polyester, acrylic etc. You don't have to avoid strechy material, but watch out for mixting thin & thick and the wide of your stripe.
This one took me about one month and a half of free time. I'm very proud of it, because I cut everything with my scissors, witch is a very long process. So it's true to say: I made it!

I'm just wondering, how did you prevent it from warping around the curves. You must have added more swith each row but how much and when.
I googled rag rug, and your specimen deffo is the coolest I have come across so far.
There's this silly idea in my head of using every item of unwanted clothing we have (well, almost every item) to make a rug that is big enough to cover a considerable chunk of bare floor boards in our living room, and your approach seems to be the most feasible. Now... gimme a crochet hook, I have a rug to make.
