No matter how you slice them, round or oval, these crocheted watermelon rugs have fresh-from-the-garden appeal! Color-rich heavy rug yarn provides their sun-ripened hue, and embroidered “seeds” enhance their realistic look. Both are created by holding two strands of yarn together as you work in double crochet with a size K (7.00 mm) hook. The rugs work up quickly, so why not make both?
