Starting a rug is the hardest thing to do, and beginners are often better served to work on a start made by an experienced rug maker to become comfortable with the stitch, but this is what people have most often asked me to record a tutorial about, so its my first of many more to come.

Higher quality versions of this video can be found at Google video and Veoh - I couldn't get YT's mass uploader to recognize my .asf file, even though all the videos I upload via the web interface are that format (grrr!)

    I saw that one first but didn't strike home until I saw this one. Couldn't quite figure out where you were going with the half hitch.. why it was "easy". Makes sense now. (scurries away to find hubbies old t-shirts to practice with)

    You're welcome- I love this craft, and I love teaching it.
