Try decreasing a few stitches around so it lays down. If you are working this granny square rug, try applying some gentle heat from a blow dryer and shape it while its warm. Good luck.

So I tried it, and it's been going WAY better than I though it would. But there is one problem that me & my mom can't figure out how to fix. It isn't that big of a deal, but... So my question is: how do you keep it from being ruffly on the edges? Thanks for the help, if you can! My Gramma used to do this. So I tried it, and it’s been going WAY better than I though it would.

It had just what I was looking for: a way to make 'PLARN'. Thanks so much for reviving my memory, and the pattern to make it. I had seen something similar to this in a 'Family Circle' magazine years ago, but it got away from me and I have been looking for it every since. I plan on making a lot of these either rugs for inside and beside the front door, as well as one that might be useful as a bath mat. At least it would be softer than what I'm using now, and I'm sure it would be a curiosity to my cat. Thanks for the update and memory boost for the plastic bagged yarn - PLARN. Great to know!

Yes this is a very handy doormat. I’m planning to use one of mine as a boot mat for winter. They are very durable and of course are waterproof.

I have been meaning to make some plarn for ages, now I know what I'm going to do with it! Love the doormat idea, very clever. Hi Cindy, thanks for your comment about my couch.

It's fascinating to see new interpretations of what she called 'make do' crafts. Keep up the great work. :) My grandmother had an oval kitchen rug she crocheted out of plastic bread sacks in the 1960s.
