Thank you, thank you! I too was having difficulty understanding other videos but yours makes it so clear and easy to understand. I’m going to be successful this time thanks to you! ❤❤
best Amish knot tutorial I have viewed, and I have viewed quite a few!! Beautiful workmanship and inspiring! I used to make these as a child from scraps at my babysitters' home and was trying to recall the exact procedure. We used our fingers (little kids) on centers pre-made by our sitter and scraps tied by our sitter. Your rug is much prettier than ours were! I'm inspired and will hold onto old t shirts in the future!
Such a beautiful little rug! I love the finishing technique…it’s sooooo tidy! You have got some skills, my dear. The traditional ways can sometimes be the best solution to things! Well….most of the time….💙💙💙💙
Thank you for this tutorial, it's looks lovely and relatively easy, although, no doubt, that's because you're so skilled, but even so, I can and will definitely be giving this a go!
That music was like water torture but the rug making was a great tutorial! Nicely done! Explained and demonstrated well. I have watched a few others who have tried to demonstrate this method, their rugs looked bumpy and just not as flat and finished as yours. You’ve got talents.
I'd make the needle out of hard wood. I have used the linking together like you do and it's much better than a knot! Although I have only crocheted mine. I'll try this and think it'll be more fun and easier.
Thank you. 😊 Yes you can make an oval rug using the same technique. Please check my other tutorial: Oval Amish Knot Rug ruclips.net/video/k1Uzg0Uk3CI/видео.html
So you increase by 2 rows once it feels like it's cupping? Or is sometimes a one row increase enough? Do I need to be aware of my starting point like in knitting? I'm sorry for these dumb questions. I struggle heavily to understand when learning something new, I'm ashamed/embaressed to admit. Especially when the instructions are clear but my brain can't get it to make sense. 😅 Thank you for sharing this! I'm looking forward to surprising my Mom with one when she moves later this year.
@@Tsuki17 Yes, you increase when necessary or when you feel that is cupping. You also need to be aware of the starting point to make sure that your circle is more balanced when you add more knots. Hope this helps, I'm sure your mom would love it!
I've viewed many rug videos..thought I may do a t shirt rag and crochet rug, but this seems easier and the rug is more refined looking - love it and I think this is the one I will make. When you cut up T shirts. if there are side seams do you cut out the seams or keep them in the cloth strips? Thanks!
This looks really pretty :) i dont understand how you increase the number of stitches though...🤔 Could you explain it with words please? 😅 Also, i was wondering if there was a way to do it oval shaped?
Thank you.😊 As your rug gets bigger, you need to increase the number of knots to avoid it from curling. After making 2 rows(I mean circle), you can create double knots right away. add two knots per hole or two knots every other hole. When the space(hole) is a little big, that when you know you should add more knots. It's a matter of feel.
Tshirts dont fray much so it gives you cleaner knots/finish. Quality of this rug is good. I even washed mine a couple of times. I cant say that the rug is soft, but it's not rough. Hope this helps. Happy rug making.😊
This would be great, combined with spool knitting. Then you could use regular worsted weight yarn for it. And if you have kids, they can make the spool knitting and you can turn it into rugs.
@@CraftsforReal Only thing is, yarn's so expensive - especially if making a bigger rug, and it's so thrifty to upcycle sheets or t shirts or whatever from the thrift stores for a few bucks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial it’s so helpful!!! How long did this rug take you to make? I’m looking to try it myself & I want to know what I’m getting myself into haha
Thank you so much for your message. It took me 2 days to finish this rug. The other rugs i made took anything from 2 days to a week depending on my pace. Wishing you all the best! 😊
You can control the speed by clicking on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of your screen, clicking on "playback speed", then selecting the speed you want. If you don't see the three dots, just point or click on the top right corner and they will appear.
It is possible that you are pulling the core too tight. Also, if you feel like it's starting to curl, add more double knots. Work in a flat surface. Hope this helps and good luck! 😊
I added double knots on the 3rd and 4th row. Create double knots when the row has wider holes/space. As you go further, create double knots only as needed. Hope this helps. 😊
YES! You can use flannel..cotton..polyester .. microfibre,. .Cotton makes beautiful rugs that will last for 20 +yrs.!! ..the wider you make your strips the thicker your rug...but you use way more fabric...... I use 3 inch strips of sheets.........you just cut into it an inch or 2 and RIP the strips leghth ways, if youre using cotton or flannel sheets etc....Theyre also reversible!! Very easy to make,,This is one of the best videos Ive seen!!!
Beautiful. Love , Love, Love. This would be great also using jeans.

I just turned off the sound, as there was no talking anyway. Great demo!

When you cut up T shirts. if there are side seams do you cut out the seams or keep them in the cloth strips? Thanks!
the seams can be used for the spine if they are not TOO thick (if so, keep for a thicker rug)
thats what i do...wrap the ugly ones with pretty ones.
Beautiful! What gauge is the wire ?
Can you do a video like this but use 2 different colors!! I get too confused with the same color. Thanks
Simple and easy.. Going to try this.. 😊

I have an Oval Amish Knot Rug video through this link:
ruclips.net/video/k1Uzg0Uk3CI/видео.html
@@CraftsforReal thank you for the explanation and link to the other video 😁 I'll have to try it :)
Have you washed this rug in the washing machine? What are care instructions? Excited to make one!
Yes I have. You can spin dry then dry it flat on the floor. I have never tried using an air dryer though. Good luck! 😊
Can't wait to try it!!
Hope you enjoy making your rag as much as I did. Good luck! 😊
Could you make this from old sweatshirts for a thicker rug?
That will work. Almost any type of fabric can be used.
Sort of like macerme only with 2 strands
This tutorial is great. How much fabric/tshirts would you suggest having for a small rug like 12inby12in?
I used 8 pieces of medium to large shirts to create a 22 inches rug. For a 12 inch, you will probably use 3 shirts.
i subscribed you👌🥰🥰🥰..i had been searching forever until i found yr chanel...🤩🤩🤩neat work and super easy to follow too..u r so well organised.👌👌👌.
I'm glad you found my channel.😊 Thank you for the support and for leaving such a nice comment. 😊❤
Curious about how many hours this took to make? Love the technique!
I prepared my fabric strips first. Making the rug took 2 days to complete. It probably took me 5-6 hours to complete it.
What's your increase do you double on 2nd row then increase every other and so on like we do with crochet?
With this rug, I started adding double knots on the 3rd and 4th row. I usually add when the holes are getting wider. 😊
I use a bopin 😜
What is a double knot???
Sorry for the confusion. It means two single knots in one hole.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
love the rug I want this to be my next project . are the rugs good quality making it out of shirts? and also are the rugs soft?
Tshirts dont fray much so it gives you cleaner knots/finish. Quality of this rug is good. I even washed mine a couple of times. I cant say that the rug is soft, but it's not rough. Hope this helps. Happy rug making.😊
Good information.or else I wouldn't know y it's called a toothbrush rug
I think I can do this.
can you use yarn to do this
Yes. Thicker yarn is suitable. I think they call it chunky or bulky yarn.
This would be great, combined with spool knitting. Then you could use regular worsted weight yarn for it. And if you have kids, they can make the spool knitting and you can turn it into rugs.

Qqq
Hi! Thanks for this video!
Can this technique be used for an oval/rectangular rug? :)
You're welcome! Yes you can use this technique on oval rugs too. 😊
Hey can one use t-shirts when making the rug? If not kind of fabric can I use I want to try making.
Yes, I made this rug using old t-shirts. You can use almost any fabric. 😊
Could you please make this in slow motion for the beginner? Is very discouraging to have to stop the recording all the time..
You can control the speed by clicking on the three vertical dots at the top right corner of your screen, clicking on "playback speed", then selecting the speed you want. If you don't see the three dots, just point or click on the top right corner and they will appear.
Hlo Mam I hv made this watching ur video. But it always slightly turns out or in just like a bowl. Pls can u suggest where I made the mistake? Plsssss
It is possible that you are pulling the core too tight. Also, if you feel like it's starting to curl, add more double knots. Work in a flat surface. Hope this helps and good luck! 😊
How much fabric did you end up using and what are the dimensions of the finished product?
I used 8 pieces of medium to large old t-shirts. The diameter is 22 inches.
Could this rug be washed?
Yes it can be washed. I usually dry mine on a flat surface. 😊
As what I have understand, the pattern is 2 rows of single knot and 2 rows of double knots. Am i right?
I added double knots on the 3rd and 4th row. Create double knots when the row has wider holes/space. As you go further, create double knots only as needed. Hope this helps. 😊
Crafts for Real thank you! 😍 I tried recreating this but mine was a bit tight and it kinda curls. Lol I'll try this method next time. 😊😊
@@zinniazee6188 Work on a flat surface, that way you can see if its curling. Also, do not pull the core too tight. Wishing you all the best! 😊
Crafts for Real thanks 🥰🥰
I only have woven cotton. (Not t shirt material... can i use those?)
YES! You can use flannel..cotton..polyester .. microfibre,. .Cotton makes beautiful rugs that will last for 20 +yrs.!! ..the wider you make your strips the thicker your rug...but you use way more fabric......
