Blue & Pink Block Rug – Free Crochet Pattern





Area rugs are very desirable items to own for all rooms in your home. These handy throw rugs offer helpful protection to hardwood floors and wall-to-wall carpets in heavily used locations.

Store bought rugs can often be expensive.  Creating your own rug is not only relaxing and gratifying, but it can also save you money.
