But you can honestly use this technique to make a rug in any size – and any shape! It all starts by purchasing the rug pad of the right size… read on to see!Īdd this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favoritesħ0 yds Red Heart Pomp-a-doodle (100% polyester “7” Jumbo 14 yds/13 m 3.5 oz/100g) I used 5 balls of Red Heart Pomp-a-doodle to make a 27″ rug, so that’s how I’ve written it up below. It took a bit of experimenting to get the spacing right, but then it came together in less than a day, making the Super Easy Non-Slip Pom Pom Rug possibly the fastest free crochet rug pattern ever! So… why not crochet right into those holes? Red Heart Pomp-a-doodle was the perfect yarn for this experiment – I worked the stitches from the “wrong side” of the rug, keeping the poms on the right side. Most of these non-slip rug pads I’ve seen have the same basic look – a squishy field of foam with lots of holes that are perfect for a G/6 hook! The key is starting with a purchased rug pad – you can pick these up at just about any big box store (I got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond, but have linked an easy Amazon option below). The Super Easy Non-Slip Pom Pom Rug can actually be made any shape, but I thought a round, circle rug would be a great shape to highlight the versatility of this crochet pattern – that is, in fairness, more of a crochet plan!

Living room furniture is much more expensive than I thought, so that may not get replaced until next year (if ever, because I really have to start putting this energy into my own place - I’m turning 30 next year after all).Red Heart Pomp-a-doodle is just too fun – and it makes a super easy DIY pom-pom rug! But crocheted (and knitted) rugs can be so slippery on hard surface floors. Next up, I want to stain the coffee table and end table, and replace the front door to make it easier to open and close. The paint came from Kelly’s, the TV stand (which is actually a dresser) came from the furniture store on Robinson Road next to We Buy, You Sell for only $400. We’re still trying to figure out where to put it because it’s so big, but it was so gorgeous I just couldn’t leave it behind. The thing behind the TV stand is a mirror. There’s still so much more to do, but I’m really proud of what I’ve managed to do thus far. This is exactly what my living room needed! Check out these before and after photos of the entire living room! It's a great height off the ground and feels like a grand chair that doesn't take up much space at all.

It's not soft at first, but once you sit in it for at least 5 minutes, you'll feel it begin to soften. This was my dream chair!!!!!! I wanted an electric blue chair and although the description says navy, this blue pops so nicely! I loooooooooove my chair! I was upset when the price increased from $160 to $235 but I just had to have it.

So in addition to the rug, I painted the living room, got rid of the entertainment centre and replaced it with a sleek design, and I replaced the old lazyboy with the chair of my dreams from Wayfair! That chair was one of the biggest struggles I’ve ever encountered (more on that later).

The furniture is old, ripped and torn, and the walls were an ugly green. Even though I should be getting ready to move out, I just couldn’t take my mum’s constant disappoint in the living room.
