Seashell Carpet

To make this carpet you will need: * 1200 meters of cotton string, 5 mm thick – it's better to order a bit more string, just to be on the safe side, * a crochet hook 10 mm thick – in the US: size N/P, * about 8-9 hours of your time :) This carpet measures roughly 210x170 cm if you use a 5 mm thick cotton string. If you use a string of smaller thicknes, the dimensions will decrease, but I can't predict by how much. No matter what string you use, remember **one important thing:** the crochet hook needs to be twice as thick as the string! Otherwise the carpet will come out crooked. For example, if your string is 3 mm thick, the crochet hook should be 6 mm thick (in the US: size J). **Another important thing:** you should be sitting on the carpet while crocheting it. This way the carpet will appear as if it has already been washed and blocked – because you have been ironing it with your buttocks while crocheting :D If you crochet the carpet while sitting on the couch, it will come out crooked and uneven :( Instructions are available: * in English (in my Ravelry store) [* in Polish (on my blog:][1] [1]: http://magiccarpetstudio.blogspot.com/2016/01/drugie-zycie-muszelki.html)
