My sister
Miriam put together a rug, and when she finished and made it into a pillow, I ended up really wanting to make one myself. My mother and I went to Michaels, which is a special store that sells crafts, and I picked out a picture of a horse. We also bought a blue latch hook which is used to attach the pieces of yarn to the canvas. Inside the kit there are four rolls of yarn, a canvas, and a color key. The color key tells you what color yarn to to use. The color key contains a symbol which stands for a specific color. For example, when I see a circle, that means I need to use light gold yarn, and when I see a triangle, then I use green yarn.
The colors needed to complete the picture are different shades of white, gold, brown, blue, and green.To make the rug, I used the hook to put a piece of yarn through a hole in the canvas. Then I wrapped the yarn yarn around the hook and pulled it through.I repeated these steps over and over again until the rug was finished and I had a picture of a horse. Once the rug was completed, I went over to my grandmother's house and she taught me how to sew it together into a pillow. That night, I slept with my nice and fuzzy pillow.
