The craft of hand-made rugs . oftenthan the circular, possibly because the circularform is somewhat more difficult to make. Theknitted rugs are also rather heavy and there-fore are practical for an entire floor covering.When used for this purpose they are made likerunners in any desired length when laid side byside on the floor without being fastened. Thelengths are not sewed together or nailed down, so they can be easily taken up and .shaken. The materials generally used for makingknitted rugs are old rags of either woolor cotton. This accounts to some extent fortheir somewhat uncared-for appearance as thedesign cannot be as well controlled as whenjust the kind and color of material wanted canbe picked out. It requires much ingenuity andexperience to make the best of what is in thehouse, and handicraft produced under such con-ditions is apt to suffer. Then, too, the prepara-tion of these materials is often careless. Theyare indifferently cut or torn into strips of vary-ing widths, sometimes even on the bias. This. A MODEL KNITTED RUG, SHOWING HOW DE-SIGN IS DEVELOPED THROUGH CON-STRUCTION AND TECHNIQUE THE KNITTED RUG 63 lack of care in the preparation of tlie materialof course weakens the knitted fabric andsooner or later a thread will break and becomeunraveled with disastrous consequences. Theexperienced worker never takes risks of thiskind but prepares all materials with that exact-ing care which will guarantee the rug a longcareer of usefulness. Since the materials from which these rugs areknitted, make a thick thread when cut intostrips, the fabric itself is heavy and to make iteasier to handle the square and oblong rugsare made in bands from eight inches to teninches in width, and are afterward sewed to-gether. The oblong rug shown in one of theillustrations is made in this manner. It has aroughly chosen center and a border sewed oneach side and at both ends. In the border asimple design has been attempted. It is a bandof black interrupted at certain intervals
