You Can Crochet With Sheets!

Crocheting With Sheets

I don’t know about you, but this is my perfect vision of summer! Well of course I’d like to be sitting next to a beautiful lake with an iced coffee, but for now I’m quite happy sitting next to our largish wading pool with a gorgeous mountain view beyond. You see, when you need to watch your kids in the pool, there’s nothing better than a little (or a lot in my case) crocheting! In fact I’m probably the only mother begging her kids to get into the pool, so that I can have an excuse to relax with my current favorite craft!

If you’re wondering what ever happened to the crocheting with t-shirt yarn, well suffice it to say I ran out of yarn, and my little rug turned out to be so lopsided that I had to tear about 1/3 of it out. Not to worry, you’ll see the results sometime. Now back to the sheets! There are several way to crochet with sheets, and I’ve chosen the easiest method for my first project, namely not worrying about hiding the rough edges.The look is very shabby chic/vintage and perfect for summer. And as you can see I’m crocheting with a very large hollow plastic crochet hook, which is why my crocheting has so many holes…..I should probably use a hook just a bit smaller, but I don’t have one, or make my strips thicker, so there you have it! In any case, if this becomes a rug, I think the holes will be great for helping the rug not to retain as much dust and dirt.

Crochet With Sheets and Make A Rug

Now before you start dreaming of crocheted rugs everywhere, I should tell you that you’ll need quite a few sheets! This little pillow front/rug? measures only 16″ (40cm) across and was made with 1 twin fitted sheet. The ball that’s attached to the work was made with the matching pillow case. While crocheting with sheets is novel, it definitely doesn’t flow like crocheting with yarn, and it’s even a bit of hard work at times! Not to discourage you, just do realize that making a rug will be a nice summer project to do over the course of several weeks, unless you are obsessed like me, and then you can probably do one in a couple of days, depending on what other demands you have!

You’ll Need:

  • lots of sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers (the best, actually)
  • a giant sized crochet hook
  • some free time
  • a refreshing summer drink, and someone to refill your drink

How To:

You can prepare your “yarn” ahead of time, or take turns preparing and crocheting which is my preference.

  1. Remove all elastic from fitted sheets and cut corner seem so you’ll have  a flat piece. Sheets should be torn into roughly 3/4″ strips, make small cuts in top of sheet and tear! Kids love doing this, so enlist their help!
  2. Join strips by cutting small slits in each end and then joining with slip knot. (Pull strip A through strip B just a bit, and then pull the long end of strip A through itself. To attach a prepared ball to work in progress you’ll need to make a slit big enough to slip the whole ball through, but this gets lost in the crocheting, so don’t worry.
  3. To make strips from pillowcases and duvet covers, I just thought of a really great time saver! Use the same technique for preparing t-shirt yarn here, it’s great! Just be sure to cut off the closed end of the pillow case and duvet cover such that you have a tube. If the duvet cover has a side opening, so work with it lengthwise, even better!

Yes, in the future I will try preparing yarn with ragged edges hidden (there are a few ways) but for now I’m enjoying the almost instant satisfaction of crocheting with the strips as is! Stay tuned for the finished project, and wishing you a wonderful crafty summer!

    Thanks Liz! I learned from my grandmother as a girl but only started crocheting again a few years ago. Crocheting is great! The main thing in learning is holding the yarn correctly in the left hand, otherwise its just practice. Whatever you do, dont give up, you can do it! And Im here to help if you need anything! All the best.

    Liz. there are TONNES of great videos on youtube that have really helped me get back to the basics. My mom taught me to crochet when I was little, and, like most small children, I didn’t pay attention to all the little things, so I’ve been going back to learn what I missed. This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgFD4P5s-NA is great and then you can see the rest of her videos as well. Also there’s a great group on ravelry for people learning to crochet with very patient teachers that are there to answer questions http://www.ravelry.com/groups/learn-crochet

    There was a little old lady who lived down the road from me who used to make these rugs. They were fantastic. She had really awesome style when it came to combining sheets (she never cared if she ran out of one colour or pattern, she just added another and kept going). Her’s were more tightly done, though. I still have one that she gave to me cuz she deemed it too ugly (it’s SO BEAUTIFUL). It’s in my kitchen.

    I have found that an easier way to make the sheet into strips to sew is to simply cut the first strip the width you want (say 1 inch) then stop that distance from the end skip another inch and cut the next strip etc always stopping an inch from the edge,,, it makes s shapes,, but then you dont have to sew the pieces togeather.

    Thanks Rachel, this is similar to the way in which one can make a continuous strip from a pillow case or comforter cover. I know other who also cut a huge spiral from a sheet for a continuous strip.
    Ill have to give it a try since the joining does create a little bump which isnt preferable.

    I was wondering if it matters what type of bed sheets you use? I have several with small scissor holes (thanks to my daughter when she was a toddler, lol) that I would love to be able to use for something more useful than just a dust-catcher, and would love to try this! However, it seems like jersey sheets would be the best to use, but I don’t have any of those. Thanks in advance! 🙂

    Hi Maeve, I used regular woven bedsheets and I love the results. Jersey produces a less stiff result and may be a bit easier to work with, but most of us have lots of regular sheets to use up, so thats what you should use!

    Hi there,
    Nice idea to use up old sheets! Have you ever heard of zpagetti? It is yarn made of waste from the fabric industrie. People also use it to crochet. I guess the edges are less rough and you have no preparing time (so more crocheting time).

    Hi Soso, Yes I have heard of zpagetti, from the Netherlands I believe? It looks amazing for making floor rugs and really chunky items, but Im sure its a bit costly as opposed to using recycled sheets!
    I think the zpagetti is closer to using knit fabric like t-shirts. all the best!

    sounds like youre not increasing enough. after the first row, you crochet two stitches in each stitch around, the next row you crochet two stitches in every other stitch, the next row you crochet two stitches in every third stitch and so on until the increases are so far apart that they really dont matter so much. all the best!

    If I started now, do you think I could make at least 10 for Christmas gifts next year? I love the pink one. I have lots of fabric so that won’t be a problem. Approximately how many yards do you think it would take to make a medium size rug? Thank you in advance.

    Hi Diane, You can certainly make 10 by next year! Just do keep in mind that the crocheting is much more difficult than with yarn since theres no give. I love the look of crocheting with sheets, but crocheting with jersey knit fabric is definately easier on the hands.
    Sorry I really have no idea how many yards it would take, since in a medium sized rug that I made I used comforter covers, sheets and pillow cases……just to estimate, Id say you need at least
    say 10 flat sheets to make a decent sized rug, just dont know what you mean by medium sized! Start collecting them from friends and thrift shops, youll need a lot. all the best!

    I know you’ve probably found something by now, but the best person I’ve ever found to teach crochet on youtube is mikeyssmail. He is an EXCELLENT teacher, and he actually does the ENTIRE project on video instead of just doing a couple rows/rounds and telling you how to do it from there on out. I learned to crochet on November 16, and, with his help, I started to crochet a 6 point star multi couloured tree skirt on the 21st. I finished it only 2 days later. Give him a go!

    You start the rug exactly as you would start any hat or any basket. Start with a foundation chain, make single crochets into that chain to go around, and then start increasing to maintain the flatness.

    I am having trouble getting mine to lay flat. How do you know when to increase?

    Reply
  44. Sara Rivka Avatar

    Hi Lea, So the basic formula for increasing is just like a hat, namely 2 sc in each stitch for the first round, 2 sc in every other stitch for the 2nd round, 2 sc in every third stitch and so on. When you get to the larger rounds so Id say increase about 4 times in each round and see how it goes. If you see any cupping or wavyness (too many increases) stop immediately and tear out that row and fix the problem. Also, be careful not to crochet too tightly! all the best!

    Hi Paige, Could it possibly be that youre crocheting with a hook thats too small? I dont know at what point your piece is becoming to wavy but if its at the beginning and youve followed the standard formula for increasing then the problem is the tension most likely. Wavy at the edges is from too many stitches, so if this happens you can decrease a bit in the next row and crochet a few more rows to see what happens. If usually corrects itself Ive found. All the best!

  76. Sara Rivka Avatar
    Sara Rivka

    By ends, Im guessing you mean edges? Or the ends of the oval? Any time crochet does not lie flat its either because there are too many stitched or not enough. Curling as in cupping means you need to add stitches, or try to crochet more loosely, curling in a ruffled manner means there are too many stitches, so try to crochet more tightly.
    In any case with sheets, these problems usually work themselves out, all the best!

    I bet if you cut the sheet on the bias it would make crocheting a little easier since the strips would be a bit more stretchy. Plus, the majority of the strips would be a lot longer. You could even just sew the ends together with a machine to make it go faster! I think I’ll have to give it a try, I always have tons of throated sheets!

    Speed up the process by first tearing one end of the sheet to establish a grain line. Fold the sheet in half, slide one edge 2″ past the other. Pin and stitch the edges together. Now, go back to the torn edge, clip the single fabric close to the beginning of your seam, tear the strip, cut through the seam, tear again. You won’t have to stop to attach strips ever again! Now slip the leading edge of your strip through a bias tape maker ( which you hold in your hand as you crochet, )and all of the torn edges will be folded inside, never to be seen again! I have rugs that I made 30 years ago that are still in use. Some of the surface fabrics have worn and frayed, but still no raw edges show! This is so fast and easy. And if you want to change colors, no fabric or effort has been wasted. Remove the edge seam and you have fabric for another project.
    This idea came to me as a modification of the technique for making continuous bias for binding quilts. No bias here, of course, just continuous strips with a minimum of effort!

    Hi Cherie, thanks so much for your ideas, this is sort of like making yarn from a comforter cover, which I just love on account of not having to join strips! Love the idea of crocheting with a bias tape maker, brilliant, and so happy to hear you have rugs still going strong after 30 years, that certainly makes the effort worthwhile!

    I love your series of posts on sheet yarn. Just what I was looking for. Question: I’m kinda OCD abut some things…how much of a difference in your finished projects do you notice with sewn yarn joins vs the looped joins? Do you have photos of each?

    I loved yours colours. Sounds like fun. I am familiar crocheting with wool and milk bags but fabric never. I would love to give it a try and thank you for sharing.
