If you have not heard of rag crocheting before, I will give you a brief description of what it is. Rag Crocheting is a lot like crocheting with yarn, only much easier. You use one continuous strip of fabric from 3 to 6 inches wide and standard crochet stitches to turn the fabric into rugs, baskets and many other items for your home or for unique gifts. Rag Crocheting with fabric is the new version of what our grandmothers did with the scraps of old clothes to make rag rugs. Our fabric comes to you on a roll in one continuous strip so there is no mess tearing fabric into strips and sewing them together. The most popular item to Rag Crochet is the round basket. A small basket that is about 6 inches in diameter takes about one pound of fabric. The medium basket which is about 8 inches in diameter takes about two pounds of fabric and the large basket is about 10 inches in diameter and takes about three pounds of fabric. When you crochet fabric you will use a much bigger hook than you may be used to; this allows you to crochet the fabric easily. We have images of products that have been rag crocheted.
