Seashell Carpet
To make this carpet you will need:
- 1200 meters of cotton string, 5 mm thick – it’s better to order a bit more string, just to be on the safe side,
- a crochet hook 10 mm thick – in the US: size N/P,
- about 8-9 hours of your time :)
This carpet measures roughly 210x170 cm if you use a 5 mm thick cotton string. If you use a string of smaller thicknes, the dimensions will decrease, but I can’t predict by how much.
No matter what string you use, remember one important thing: the crochet hook needs to be twice as thick as the string! Otherwise the carpet will come out crooked. For example, if your string is 3 mm thick, the crochet hook should be 6 mm thick (in the US: size J).
Another important thing: you should be sitting on the carpet while crocheting it. This way the carpet will appear as if it has already been washed and blocked – because you have been ironing it with your buttocks while crocheting :D If you crochet the carpet while sitting on the couch, it will come out crooked and uneven :(
