Flat tapestry crochet: This rug is worked flat with dcs
and using 3 colors. Follow the chart and crochet sts
around the 2 colors not in use. Always change the color
so that you make the last yarn over of the previous st
with the new color. At each edge, do not crochet the
yarns inside the edge st, but leave them waiting, turn,
and then work them again inside the 2nd st from the
edge. This will make the rug edges neater.
Instructions: Ch 70 with black for the starting chain.
Row 1 (right side): Dc in 4th st from the hook (= 1st dc),
dc in next 66 sts carrying the white and green yarns
inside the sts, make the last dc without the other yarns
= 68 dc. Turn work and pull a bit on the yarns running
inside sts, to make sure they are at the same tension as
the work.
Row 2 (wrong side): Ch 3 (= 1st dc), dc in next 66 sts = 1 dc in black = 1 dc in white = 1 dc in green
with carrying white and green inside the sts, dc in the
last st without the other yarns and change to white by 74.

Rows 3-4: Ch 3, dc in each st with white, running the
other yarns inside the sts, except for the edge sts. 24.
Change to black in the last dc for row 4.
Rows 5-8: Repeat rows 1-4.
Rows 9-72: Start the tapestry crochet and work
according to the chart. Keep carrying the other two
yarns inside the sts, except for the edge sts. Ch 3 for
turning, as before. Make the 22-st repeat 3 times and
finish with the 2 sts in the left. Make rows 9-10 from the
chart, then make rows 11-26 three times, then rows 11-
24 = 72 rows.
Rows 73-74: Work according to the chart. 11.
Rows 75-82: Make the last 8 rows in a mirror image of
the 1st rows of the rug: *Make rows 3-4 (in white), then 9.
