Unable to find a rug in shops to match decor for redecorated lounge but can find yarn that does… Time to get the needles out! Pattern calls for worsted but adapted it for chunky. Cast on 189 instead of 197. Omitted a section from the middle as would have been too wide. Slip stitched a padding onto rug and then backed that off with grey fleece, again slip stitched, to make it lovely and cushy. Pattern was great. Loved the stitch and effect it produced.
