Catherine Wheel Crochet

This is a great crochet pattern.  Like a lot or crochet the hardest part is getting started, but once the pattern is established it's much easier.  It grows slower than a lot of crochet patterns and uses a lot of wool, but it is super thick.  Here I am making a scarf to get the feel of the pattern, but it is thick and substantial enough to make a great rug.

Heres a close-up look of the pattern.

If you fancy having a go at this stitch there is a brilliant video tutorial to be had just here.
