About Hoooked Ribbon XL Yarn

Hoooked Ribbon XL is a 100% recycled cotton yarn produced in Europe by Hoooked. It is lightweight in texture yet extremely sturdy, making it particularly well-suited for home accessories such as rugs, baskets, and bags. The yarn is elastic and non-scratchy, which makes it comfortable to work with over extended crochet sessions. Importantly, Ribbon XL is machine washable, adding practical longevity to any finished project. As a recycled material, it also appeals to crafters who prioritise sustainable and eco-conscious yarn choices.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used

The pattern makes use of a range of fundamental and intermediate crochet stitches. These stitches are well-established in crochet construction and combine to create a dense, even fabric appropriate for rug-making. The following stitches are referenced within the pattern:

• Chain stitch (losse) – the foundational stitch used to create the initial cast-on row or starting ring
• Slip stitch (opzetlus) – commonly used to join rounds or move yarn position without adding height
• Single crochet / double crochet (vaste) – a short, tight stitch that produces a firm, compact fabric ideal for rugs
• Half double crochet (halve vaste) – a stitch of intermediate height, adding slight texture and flexibility
• Double crochet (stokjes) – a taller stitch that works up more quickly and can create open, rhythmic patterns within the rug design
• Treble crochet / double treble (dubbel stokje) – an extended stitch used for decorative effect or to create more open sections of fabric
• Chain space (l-ruimte / loss) – gaps formed by chains within a pattern repeat, often used to create visual interest or lacy effects
• Fixed / set stitches (vaste keerlosse, halve vaste stokjes) – turning and foundation techniques used to maintain consistent stitch counts across rows or rounds
