Chord Rug Free Crochet Pattern
The Chord Rug is a free crochet pattern that uses easy stitches and a fun stitch pattern. This rug is the perfect size to use under your dog or cat’s food dishes. I used 4 colors of Wool of the Andes from We Crochet. They have so many colors to choose from you’ll have a blast coming up with your own color combination.
