The Magic Ball or Scrap Wool Rug that I crotched, great way of using up all those ends that you seem to accumulate.

I used to strands of 8ply with a 9.00mm hook.
Using a strand of black (any colour will do) and a strand of Magic Ball.

Started of with a chain of 150 stitches.
1st Row Treble.
2nd Row Double Crotchet
Repeat the two rows until you are happy with the size. (ending with a treble row)
Then I did a row of double crotchet around the rug to finish it off.
