Rug hooking patterns: sheep, basket and saltbox house

Rug-hooking patterns — a folk-art sheep standing in profile, a fat curly fleece body on four straight legs, a small dark face, three low hills behind it and a crescent moon above, drawn as the bare pattern to trace onto backing, bold black outlines of even weight, every shape closed, no shading, no hatching and no fills

Reading 3Saltbox house

A rug-hooking pattern works in the American-primitive folk-art register: bold, simple, large open regions. These nine pattern a folk-art sheep under a crescent moon, a woven basket of flowers and a crooked saltbox house, each drawn three ways — the bare pattern draft, the same design with hooking loop strokes worked in, and a finished colour plan.

  • a pattern traced onto backing
  • a long hallway runner
  • a colour-plan reference before hooking
  • an autumn-colour variation

Frequently asked questions

What size does the pattern print at?
A square sheet with a margin, the design centred inside a simple ruled border.
Does this include a colour guide?
The colour-plan style floods each region with a flat wool shade; the draft and worked-rows styles are line-only for tracing.
Can I get a different design?
Yes — use the direction field to ask for a rooster or another design, drawn the same three ways.

About toile

This page is a showcase: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each one shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Toile has no generation wired to this page yet — nothing here is made to order, and there is no account, no upload, nothing to buy. What you see is what exists. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
