grandmother's room.

1. Wrap the first
loop around your pinky. Twist it one half turn and loop it around your ring finger.
2. Twist it another
half loop and loop it around your middle finger. Another half twist and then around your
index finger.
3. Repeat with the
second loop.
4. Stretch out the
bottom loop from from your pinky, Lift it over the top loop and stretch it over to the
back of your pinky.
5. Do the same with
your the loops on the other three fingers. Continue weaving randomly choosing colors. The
"braid" will start to form down the back of your hand.
6. You'll need about 15 feet of
"braid" to make a 24" rug. If you need to take a break, slide a pencil or
pen through the working loops as you remove them from your fingers.
7. To finish, tie end loops together in double knots. To form the rug, lay the flattened
"braid" on your work surface. Begin coiling, being careful to keep the braid
flat. Use a needle and thread to stitch the edge of the coil to the edge of the next
coiled row.
