The Ridge Rug is made of sturdy, hard-wearing wool yarn that is soft underfoot.  This is one of many great patterns in the book Knits at Home: Rustic Designs for the Modern Nest by Ruth Cross.  This rug is very simple to make and has subtle stripes in 2 different colors.  The ridges are created by gathering and catching every eight row and making a bump on the rug.  Feel free to vary the size of the rug to fit your space!

Gift Kit includes Knits at Home (pattern inside) and selected yarn. For yarn winding services, click here.
