More about the Colour Wheel Carpet

Colour Wheel Carpet is a knitting pattern for a round rug featuring stripes and a colourful, wheel-inspired design. The rug is knitted in Drops Paris, which is a cotton yarn, and is worked in stockinette stitch with turns that shape each section. The colours – royal blue, turquoise, mint green, opal green, wasabi, pale yellow, dandelion, orange, red, dusty pink and lilac – give the blanket a fresh and decorative look. I think you could call it a sort of circus rug. The finished rug measures 100 or 125 cm in diameter, depending on which size you choose. This pattern is ideal for anyone who wants to knit a round rug full of colour for a child’s bedroom, a hobby room or a cosy corner of the home,
