Mark & Stacy Egan > Rope Rug
To finish, we cut and burned the ends so they would fit together on the underside of the rug, and used a heavy-duty hand stitcher (Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl) to sew them together.

Mark constructed a template to create a peg-board from and to serve as a guideline for when we weave the rope. This is based on analysis of an existing rope rug.
A quadruple-weave rug we made from retired 10.2mm x 60m climbing rope. Dimensions are 2 1/3' x 1 3/4'.

Third weave complete! We originally were going to stop at 3 weaves, but we realized that we had enough rope left for another go-around, and there was also space left in the weave too! So off again...it's getting harder to pull the rope through at this point!

Second weave complete! It's starting to shape up now!
First go-around is complete! Whew! Now you don't have to concentrate so much, just follow the pattern through again.
Start weaving the rope around the appropriate pegs, referring to template drawing to know when to go over or under.
