T-shirt yarnDetermine the size of the future rug. Prepare the necessary amount of yarn. You will need about 100-150 meters of T-shirt yarn for rug with a diameter of 50-60 cm. This amount may vary depending on the yarn thickness, the size of the hook and knitting density.
You can buy a tricot yarn or make it yourself from unwanted T-shirts. First of all cut off the labels and decorations from T-shirts. Cut off the sleeves and neck. Then cut the fabric into strips with width of 2-3 cm. Reel the obtained ribbon into a ball.

Possible problems and their solution
From time to time place your rug on the floor and check if it is pretty flat.
The edge is too tightened.It may happen when the circle is quite big already and 8 increases in a round may not be enough. So the rug's edge begins to turn up. In this case add 2 or 3 increases. Do not forget to make them every second round and shift every time by 2 stitches.
Wavy edge.The edge of the rug becomes wavy if you make too many increases in a round. Crochet 2-3 rounds without increases. Or unknit your rug to the round where you've made the extra increases and reduce their quantity.
Above problems also can be caused by improper choosing of the hook size regarding to the yarn thickness.
