This is a photo of the hooked rug pattern that was adapted from one of the three panels of the original rug. The second photo is of the original rug, hooked circa 1885.
This was inspired by an embroidered carriage cushion, from Sweden, and can be seen in American Hooked and Sewn Rugs Folk Art Under Foot, by Joel and Kate Kopp. I love the colors in the original!
