Would anyone have instructions/pattern for crocheting a tartan rug. Don't want to be too specific about the clan at this stage, just like the look of them. Saw a lady at a free camp doing one a few weeks ago, should have got the pattern then. Saw some in a craft shop in Glen Innes (where else?) but they didn't have the patterns there. Any help?

Hi,
Thought I had a book with the pattern in it, went to my knitting/crocheting bin - no!! So I checked on Google and if you put in crocheted tartan rugs, there appears to be lots of info and free patterns.
Hope this helps.

THanks Pejay, I had already done the google thing, and most were American patterns, and I didn't recognise the yarn (8 ply? 5 ply? or what ever) or a lot of the terminology. I did, however, find an Australian pattern using Patons (there is a name I recognise) 8 ply, and stitches I know.
Would still like other patterns if anyone has any.

Love this one http://simplyhavingfunwithstamps.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/crochet-tartan-rug.html
Thanks for that Rosie, Looks good. I did manage to find an old Women's Weekly pattern, which I have started. Fairly easy. Will post some pics when it gets big enough!

After trying Glen Innes and Inverell, finally managed to buy a little book with about 15 patterns in Maclean.
