Half Circle Watermelon Rug Crochet Pattern

Have you heard of any of those crazy silly national holidays? There’s Jelly Bean Day, Dance Like a Chicken Day, and even Put a Pillow on your Fridge Day! What?! Well, National Watermelon Day was August 3rd! And because of this, I designed this adorable Half Circle Watermelon Rug crochet pattern!

I have to be honest with you. I am absolutely in love with this rug! Every time I walk into the guest bathroom I can’t help but smile. One, it’s just super cute and two, the colors really liven up our dull bathroom! (Yes, we really need to redecorate.)

Although we put ours in the guest bathroom, it can be used as a welcome mat, porch rug, bath mat, kitchen rug, or anything of that sort! No matter where it is in your house, it’s gonna make your guests super jealous that they don’t have one!

This Half Circle Watermelon Rug is made by holding two strands of yarn and using 100% cotton. Therefore, it’s very durable and machine washable for all those stinky feet you’ll have walking all over it 😉

Pattern:

  • Get the ad-free, large print, printable PDF pattern HERE. Which includes step-by-step photos!
  • PIN this pattern to your Pinterest boards for later HERE.

Materials:

Stitch Guide:

  • Dc (double crochet)
  • Hdc (half double crochet)
  • Hdc2tog (half double crochet 2 together) – Yarn over, insert your hook into the next st, yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over, insert your hook into the NEXT st, yarn over, pull up a loop. You should have 5 loops on your hook. Yarn over, pull through all 5 loops.
  • Ch (chain)
  • Sl st (slip stitch)
  • Rep (repeat)

Notes:

  • This pattern is worked holding two strands of yarn for the entire pattern except for the seedlings.
  • When you switch to your white yarn, you will only need a small amount. Instead of buying two balls in order to hold two strands together, you can use the strand from the outside while also using the strand from the center of the ball. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, you can of course buy another ball.
  • The ch 3 at the beginning of each round counts as a dc
  • After row 2, you will always begin by double crocheting in the base of your ch 3 and you will always end with 1 dc in the top of the ch 3 from the previous round.

You can attach your seeds as I did in the picture above or you can place them in any direction that you’d like.

Using your tapestry needle, sew your seedlings into your rug weaving in and out from back to front and going completely around your seed. Weave in your ends into the back and cut off the excess.

Ta dah! Now you have your very own (super cute, may I add) Half Circle Watermelon Rug!
