I'm looking for a book on making crochet rugs from fabric. I've seen it done on YouTube, but I need something in writing. I can't find anything on Amazon. I looked at Joanns and Michaels. Or maybe someone can tell me...what size needles? How wide do you make your strips of fabric? How many stitches do you first cast on?

Big hook! I think the number of stitches depends on the pattern. It has been years... Live Laugh Download Stitch!
