Kiki Mariko Rug Kit
By Brown Sheep Company
Can a steek be foolproof? If it’s felted, the answer is yes. Knit a giant, colorful tube on big needles, felt it in the washing machine, then cut it open. Amazing! Kit contains 10 skeins of Lamb’s Pride Bulky yarn and a digital download of the Kiki Mariko Rug pattern.

Of course, you could stop once you’ve knitted the long colorwork tube and call it a strapless, woolly ball gown. But keep going to discover the fun of felting this tube and watching all those stitches snug up. And then: a giant steek. To make it into a sturdy, colorful rug, you cut open the tube with scissors. It’s not magic, but it’s pretty much the most fun you can have in knitting.
