Still using the short end of the cord or rope, form a second loop in the cord leading off from the bottom of the first loop over to the bottom right side.

The length from the end of this loop to the top of the first loop will determine the size of your rug. If you are working in 1:12 scale, this distance should be 3 to 3.5 inches. (7 – 8 cm.)
