• Looking to your surroundings for inspiration
• How to design a large rug
• Choosing a colour palette
• Hooking elements of the design like flowers, trees, branches and stems
• Adapting and making changes to your rug on the fly

Want a large pattern to work on during this course? Deanne is doing custom large-sized patterns for Working BIG. See more details here.

You can also purchase wool packs for the pattern of your choice (we recommend 1-2 for a rug this size).

If you want to design your own large rug, you'll need backing. We recommend 2 yards of linen for large rugs.
