You will need

● Size U crochet hook
One skein will make a rug that's 803 square inches/5024 square cm. To make a different size, calculate the area of the rug (radius squared in inches or cm times 3.14) and divide that number by 803/5024. This will give you the number of skeins to make your desired size. Tip – it's best to crochet loosely with this yarn.
