DIY Diamond Hook Rug with Granny Hexagon Natura XL

How to crochet a carpet?

Want to add a warm, original touch to your home? The granny hexagon crochet rug is the perfect solution for combining creativity, relaxation and decoration. This DIY project is ideal for using your yarn scraps and personalizing your home with a unique, handmade piece. Crochet isn't old-fashioned! With the right choice of colors, it'll decorate your home or bedroom.

What's a crochet granny? A "Granny" is a very simple crochet pattern that can either be included in a crochet work, or sewn together to form a blanket, bags, cardigans... Granny hexagons are easy to make, even for beginners. All you need to do is master the basic stitches (close stitches, bridles, air stitches) to create a modular geometric pattern. By playing with colors, you can create a bohemian, pastel or resolutely pop rug to suit your mood.

The principle is simple: crochet several hexagons, then assemble them by sewing or crocheting them together. You can create a small bathroom rug, a round rug for a child's bedroom or even a large piece for the living room. Just adjust the number of patterns.

This project is perfect for long cocooning evenings or creative weekends. It's also a great way to recycle leftover balls of yarn and enjoy yourself at the same time. And for a clean finish, don't forget the final blocking!

Which yarn to crochet a rug with? Use wools in bright, trendy colors for a contemporary look, or stick to plain colors such as cream, taupe or charcoal gray for a bohemian feel. Each ball of Natura XL cotton makes 3 hexagons measuring 17x20 cm.
If you want to make a larger rug, you'll need a total of three n°81 balls, two n°31 balls and two n°7 balls for one hexagon. Or three balls n°81, n°31 and n°7 to make a diamond-shaped rug of the size above.
