Easy to work, this rug is endlessly customizable! Work it in any color combination to suit your decor, and any size to fit your space.
Blocks of garter stitch with a series of mitered squares in each corner (also worked in garter) were inspired by simple quilt blocks. Solid or heathered colors lend the look of a vintage quilt. For a more updated look, consider using semi-solid or hand painted colors for the center and mitered squares.
