Carpet on the hoop: work progress

The original design used children'sknitted T-shirts, but, as experience has shown, knitwear is not very suitable, since it does not hold a flat shape if you stretch it too much. Therefore, we recommend taking things made of fabric with a minimum admixture of elastane, ribbon or just rope. The size of the mat depends on the size of the selected hoop, you can take both your daughter's gymnastics hoop and a large hoop for weight loss. The weaving technology is very simple, even a child can handle it, independently making a round mat on a hoop for his room.master class how to make a rug on a hoopT-shirts or other old outerwearCut into strips of equal width, from one side seam to the other, so that you get rings. Put each strip on the hoop: first a vertical line, then a horizontal one, and then divide each sector into equal parts with a T-shirt strip. Important! The strips of fabric should not be too taut, otherwise the finished rug will wrinkle and will not hold its shape. Ideally, the T-shirt strip should fit almost freely on the hoop, with minimal stretching of the fabric. It is likely that if the diameter of your hoop is larger than the T-shirt strip, it is too taut or you are even using ropes. In this case, simply wrap the hoop with fabric or rope and tie a knot. Try to make sure that all the base lines intersect at the center point. We start weaving the rug from the center. Take a T-shirt strip, secure it with a loop behind one of the base lines and pass it under and over the longitudinal lines.master-class on the hoop of T-shirts with their own handsWhen the strip ends, tie another one to itT-shirt ring, hide the knot under the previous row. Continue weaving in the same way, alternating pulling the strip under and over the longitudinal lines. Try to keep each circle tightly pressed to the previous one, not allowing large spaces and holes between them. After you have finished weaving, cut the ends of the loops with scissors and tie them in a knot.master-class on the hoop of T-shirts with their own hands
