Patent ID: 6923026

Claim:
A method for hand-crafting a rug comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a first sock loop having a predetermined diameter and twisting said first sock loop to form two small loops; (b) twisting said first sock loop again to form one loop four strands thick; (c) pushing a second sock loop halfway through said one loop to thereby define two end loops; (d) pushing a new sock loop through said two end loops of said second sock loop; (e) repeating step (d) a selected number of times to form a chain including a selected number of sock loops; (f) drawing an additional number of sock loops through one said selected sock loops of said chain; (g) selectively drawing said additional sock loops through each other in a successive manner; (h) wrapping another sock loop around said chain and pushing said another sock loop through one said additional sock loops, said another sock loop defining an old loop after being pushed through said one additional sock loop; (i) repeating step (h) wherein successive ones of said additional sock loops defining a new loop until reaching an end of said chain; (j) pushing a new one of said successive sock loops through said first sock loop and putting a latest one of said additional sock loops over said new successive sock loop; (k) flipping said chain so that said new successive sock loop and said latest additional sock loop switch positions from left to right and from right to left respectively; (l) pushing a newer one of said successive sock loops through a space closest to said old loop and taking said old loop over said new successive loop until reaching an opposite end of said chain; and (m) repeating steps (j) through (l) until the rug has a desired length and width.
