What is crocheting with two strands held together? How to crochet a rag rug with double strands aka 2 ply technique![]()
I frequently crochet with two strands of fabric yarn at a time. The technique is like crocheting with one strand, you do your stitches the exact way you normally would. The only difference is that you are holding two strands together. you work those two strands as if they were one.
You are knotting twice the amount of material into each stitch, which causes your fabric to work up to be twice as thick. The project works up even faster than it would otherwise. Thicker and denser is often exactly what I want in a rug.
