Wash, cut and sew the rags into strips, Dye the Iighter-colored ones soft shades of rose, blue, yellow and lavender so that everything will be in readiness for the winter evening rub=lnal.ing bees. Everyone can help: The braided and crocheted rugs are made in round, oval and rectangular forms, Cut or tear the rags carefully into strips about one inch wide, accord- ing to the thickness of the material. used. Sew the ends together securely. until .a long strip is merle. Mix the colors or sew together the strips of the same eolor according to the design you Wish to ear'ry out. Wind in balls for convenience in handling. With a large wooden crcichet boo,..., crochet the rug into the shape desired,. using the strips just as YOU would fisc; thread. To ir,ake n round rug, start with a chain of four, going round and reur.d, and using the singe crochet stitch for the entire rag, ,joining each strip or row with a stip stitch.
