The Arrowhead pattern was the first twining chart I ever created, inspired by a woven throw blanket. Watching the stitches come together to create these unique shapes, made from only two colors, was tremendously exciting. The success of the Arrowhead pattern ended up being my inspiration for this entire twining series.
The design is duplicated on the back side, making this a completely reversable rug pattern.

I’d love to see re-use and upcycling become a more common part of everyday life. Finding practical ways to repurpose cast off materials - while making them beautiful - can be challenging. For me, twining rag rugs has become not only a creative outlet but also a subtle dig at the system. A way to slow the conveyor belt of “purchase to landfill” that seems to be increasing in speed all the time. I hope this chart inspires a new adventure in your own twining journey and helps more people discover the lovely possibilities of upcycling.
