Materiales:
- pedazos grandes de telas (las mejores son las de tipo elasticas, como el modal)
- tijera para cortar telas
Many pieces of cloth around and no idea till I started cutting them. For other previous projects I had cut the cloth in approx 3cm bands and it had been hard; it took me too long. This time I thought, why not cutting wider bands? 10 cms wide, for example. And what would come out of all this? Trying out different things, I started knitting with my hands. And a rug appeared. Here´s the how!
Materials:
- Big pieces of cloth (elastic ones are the best, like modal)
- A pair of scissors to cut cloth

Estos son los ovillos que salieron! Y ahora a tejer! El movimiento de la mano y los dedos debe imitar el de la aguja de crochet. Mi alfombra es rectangular y tiene unos 80 x 40 cm. Para esto hice 16 puntos cadenas para empezar y se trabaja con medio punto. Primero se mete la mano en la cadena (foto 1), se toma la hebra y se pasa por la cadena de la hilera anterior (foto 2), se mete la mano por las dos cadenas que tenemos y se toma la hebra pasandola por las dos cadenas (foto 3) y asi se obtiene un punto (foto 4):
This are the resulting yarns! And now to the knitting! The hand´s and fingers´ movement should imitate that of the crochet needle. My rug is rectangular and measures 80 x 40 cm. That´s why I made 16 chain or slip stitches to start and I worked with single crochet stitches. First you introduce your hand on the chain or slip stitch (pic 1), take the thread and work it through the chain or slip stitch of the previous row (pic 2), then you introduce your hand through both slip stitches and take the thread again through them (pic 3) and thus making your first stitch (pic 4):
