I was wondering if there is anyway someone to teach me how to crochet for free?

Hi there! I've found the easiest way to learn for free is by watching YouTube videos! I love that you can pause and repeat sections of the video as many times as you like. If you search in YouTube "How to Crochet", an excellent video by Naztazia comes up. I hope that helps!

I am about to make this rug (I will need to go DOWN a few sizes in my hook choice to make the rug fit where I want to put it).... but what is a size 7 crochet hook? There is NO U.S. equivalent to a size 7 (the size goes from a 6.5, which is a K to 8.0, which is is an L hook)....?

Hi there - Thanks so much for point this out. You actually need a 5 mm (U.S. H/8) crochet hook. I have corrected the pattern to reflect this. Thanks again! - Julia from FaveCrafts

I am in the process of making this rug (bought the kit at yarnspirations.com) and for the life of me cannot get it to look like the picture. I would not rate this as easy, but intermediate and found the pattern confusing. My thought right now is to scrap the rug and use the yarn for something else!

I found a video that a handyman used 100% silicone adhesive...put thick beading around the perimeter edges and zig zagged through the middle and then used a spatula to smooth it out. He let it cure overnight and it left it just tacky enough that it didn't slip anymore.
