Hooking Mats and Rugs: 33 New Designs From An Old Tradition by Deanne Fitzpatrick

Deanne Fitzpatrick presents a collection of colorful, "folk art" designs, inspired by the people, the landscape and the long rug-making traditions of Canada's Atlantic Coast.

With just a simple backing, a small hook, a hoop and a basket of yarn and fabric scraps, you'll learn to create an array of hooked pieces in various sizes-from small welcome mats and chair pads to large area rugs and wall hangings. You'll learn how to gather and select materials, hook the loops, create special effects, and finish the piece for the floor or wall. There is a pattern and color key for each of the 33 designs.
