Instructions for Latch Hook Rug Making

Before commencing, look at your rug canvas. The knots should be made

on the double horizontal threads , NOT on the vertical twisted threads. i.e.

Always work from selvedge to selvedge one complete row at a time. This

applies to all designs which ever way they appear on the chart or printed

canvas.

Beginning Your Rug

Lay your canvas on a table with selvedges left to right. Leave i ve or

more rows before beginning the i rst row of your design. Before you begin

latchhooking, fold these i ve, or more, rows UP, (not under) and double them

over, so that you work these i rst rows through the double thickness. As you

near the end of your rug, fold i ve or more rows over, towards you and work

through the double thickness again. Both ends of your rug are now securely

locked in. To i nish,fold the selvedges to the back and slip-stitch with strong

thread.

STEP 1.

Hold the latch hook in one hand. Loop a piece of rug yarn evenly around the

shaft below the latch.

STEP 2.

Push the hook into one hole below the horizontal thread and up into the hole

above. Keep pushing until the latch is through. Pull back gently to partially

close the latch.

STEP 3.

Pick up the two ends of the yarn and place into the eye of the hook.

STEP 4.

Pull hook slowly and i rmly back through the loop. As you pull, the latch

closes and captures the yarn. Let go the two ends of yarn and pull the hook

through.

Hint: With the thumb of your free hand placed on the base of the knot,

continue to pull the hook right out.

STEP 5.

Tighten the knot carefully and i rmly, keeping the ends even.

edge, leaving 35 cm open at the centre of the seam.
