Im trying to make a flat rug with crochet but it's coming out wavy. Any suggestions?

Question

This has been happening even in the case of making circular crochet patterns. How do I avoid this waviness?

Answer 1

Stretch and iron the rug.

Answer 2

The waviness happens because there are too many stitches in the rounds.  When there are too many stitches anchored in a smaller number it has no where to go so it gets wavy.  If you had too little stitches it would all curl inwards (like a hat).  Try looking at other patterns that make a flat circle and see how many stitches the increase each round (it's usually something like 1 stitch for every 12).

Answer 3

first   make sure all your yarn is same weight    did you  start

with making  say 5 chain      and work round in a square

shape    if it is coming out wavy  i would say you could be adding  a stitch here and there which would cause this to happen     i love crochet   and do lots of it       i would love to help you with  this work    if you do not get it sorted  i will send you a sample    free  nothing to pay  at all      good luck    annm

Answer 4

Your not spacing your increase properly.  If you see it start to curl pull back to where it lays flat and add a stitch or two.  If this does not help contact me
