This pattern produces a round carpet that is actually a spiral for most of the rounds.

I used 1500 meters of cotton string (3 mm thick) and a 5 mm crochet hook (size H in the US) to obtain a diameter of 102 cm (40 inches). The pattern has 47 rounds and is a lot easier than it seems. The whole work took me about 9 hours.

The carpet is worked in a spiral, so as to avoid that ugly seam running from the center to the edge. Remember: don’t close any rounds with a slip stitch, unless I say it’s ok.

You can use any yarn, but remember one thing: the crochet hook needs to be almost twice as thick as the yarn.

If you use a yarn of different thickness than my 3 mm cord then the diameter will change, but I can’t predict by how much.

In this tutorial I included photos for the first 10 rounds to get you started. If any of the photos in the PDF file seem too small, you can find their bigger originals on my blog :)
