The pattern is a digital download for 12 ply yarn, in pdf format.
The cluster of gum leaves are framed by a Moss Stitch border.
- Twisted stitches create the 3D leaves.
- The gum nuts are made separately and attached afterwards.
- A garter stitch border completes the rug.
Tip: Add stamens to the gum nuts to make them into gum blossoms.
The rug measures 135cm x 90cm. It uses 1200g of 12 ply yarn (Bulky USA, Chunky UK) and is knitted on 6mm needles.
This pattern is also published in the Seven Chunky Rugs pattern book.
