There is nothing quite so warming on a cold winter's day as stepping onto a soft, thick rug first thing in the morning, especially if you have wooden floors in your house.


The Tromso Rug is reversible and features a strongly textured surface for a dynamic effect. The stitch pattern is easily-memorised and the rug is worked in a bulky wool yarn so knits up quickly.


The pattern includes instructions for three different sizes so you can make a variety of new rugs for the kitchen, the TV room or to have by your favourite chair so you can knit in comfort.


Please see below for more information about this pattern.
