Crocheted Tshirt Rag Rug

craftylpn writes: there are a couple of ways to block a project, For this project, I would use a white towel right after it washed and damp. Put it over the ironing board or table depending on how big the project is. use a warm iron or setting appropriate temp for material, lay out the project , check that each side is the same size, run iron over the material with or without steam. if yarn is used, no steam, material like a t shirt light steam should be ok. The idea is the dampness help to set the stitches so it will lay flat, maintain its shape. then let the project lay flat untill dry. You may need to place some thing to weigh down the corners(not paper books,they will damage the book) I also use a plastic peg board and use plastic golf tee's to peg the project ( cheap ,waterproof, won't bleed color to project) Any home improvement store carries it holes are 1 inch apart-a nateral ruler! They will ut to size 4 u

Thanks!

Can someone tell me how to block it once it's done?
