1
Buy the kit. It should contain:
- Hook
- Scraps of thread
- A rigid canvas
- Instruction sheet
2
Read the instructions for the carpet. Learn the symbols represented by the colors in the table.
3
Sort the balls by color.
4
Start making the carpet.
1. Start at the bottom left corner, or right if you're left-handed, and cut a strip of the first color.
2. Fold the wire around the base of the hook, under the hanging wire.
3. Push the hook under the canvas bar at the bottom of the first square so that the thread passes under the canvas and comes out again from the top.
4. Take the ends of the loop and put them over the canvas bar, through the latch and under the actual hook.
Secure the thread and press with the handle of the hook to push the ends of the thread under the canvas bar, through the original loop. The thread should be well secured to the canvas with a slip knot (called a lark's knot).
6
Continue like this for the entire row, paying attention to the colors of the model.
7
Proceed row by row until complete.

Advice

After completing the rows, check for loose knots and tighten them.It's easier to spot them by looking at the carpet inside out.
If you make a mistake with the colors, untie the knots and correct the mistake.
Avoid the temptation to complete the canvas by color rather than by file.It will be difficult to use the hook in areas where knots have already been tied.From bottom to top, row by row is the easiest way.
To avoid rough edges, use masking tape.
You can also start the rug in the center and work outward.
Not all kits include a "background" color.You may need extra thread scraps.Available in all tailors.
