This is a whimsical and fun rug that would look great in a child’s playroom, a bedroom, or even thrown over the back of a couch. Perfect for woodland themed rooms. Sure to bring a smile to all who see it!

Experiment with gauge - a looser gauge will produce a rug that is more suited for a bed covering or light blanket. A tighter gauge will produce a rug that is more suited as a floor covering.
