Abstract
A braided rug method and construction is based on securing by stitching a relatively small auxiliary strand over the junction of larger stitched together strands of braid. By selection of auxiliary strand color, alternating the side of the rug on which the auxiliary strand appears or by employing auxiliary strands on both sides of the rug new appearances in braided rug color, texture and appearance are achieved.
Claims10
A braided rug, comprising:
- (a) a strand of braid coiled to form a rug of selected shape and size;

- and
- (c) stitched threads operative to secure said braid and auxiliary strand together in said relation throughout the length of said auxiliary strand.
