Could someone please tell me how this is made I'm braiding and crocheting rugs but I can't for the life of me understand how this design can be made.What hook that's used?

I see this image is from this Round Rag Rug Etsy listing where it states it made out of upcycled T-shirts, so I'm guessing it's hook size roughly between N-Q (9-16mm) though this of course depends on the rags used.
In terms of technique used it's hard to tell, to me it looks most similar to this seamless spiral crochet.
Well to me it appears to be seven stitches. Then there's that v loop and then another one is added and I'm guessing that there's a middle part that all of these are attached to and then sewn together. That's what I was hoping someone would help me with. Do you think it would be put together that way?
I'm thrilled to assist with your rug-making journey! Let's delve into the mesmerizing world of braided and crocheted rugs.
Understanding the Design
For a braided and crocheted rug, the design can often involve creating a series of braided strands that are then stitched or crocheted together. This can give a more dimensional texture compared to typical crocheted rugs.
Crochet Hooks and Materials
Hook Size
The appropriate crochet hook size often depends on the thickness of the material you're using. Thick t-shirt yarn or cloth strips usually require a larger hook, like an N (9mm) or larger. Adjust according to the tightness of the stitch you desire.
Materials
Common materials include fabric strips, t-shirt yarn, or rope. Each provides a unique texture and weight to the finished rug.
Steps to Creating Your Rug
Braid Strands
Begin by cutting strips of your fabric or using t-shirt yarn. Braid these strips into several long strands.
Crochet the Braids
Once your braids are ready, use a crochet hook to stitch them together. This can be done in a spiral pattern, starting from the center, or in rows, depending on your design.
Variations
Adding different colors or textures within the braids or using different crochet stitches to attach the braids can add interest to your rug.
Braid and crochet your way to beautiful creations! I can't wait to see the wonderful rug you create. Happy crafting! 🌟

Heat pressing non-hot fix rhinestones can be a bit more challenging since they lack the adhesive backing that hot fix varieties have. However, with the right technique, you can successfully secure them.
Methods for Heat Pressing Non-Hot Fix Rhinestones
Use a Compatible Adhesive
Apply a fabric adhesive or glue specifically designed for attaching rhinestones to the fabric surface where you'd like the rhinestone to be placed. Press the stone onto the adhesive firmly.
Foil and Heat Press Technique
Cover your rhinestone design with a sheet of foil to protect both the stone and your fabric from direct heat. Set your heat press to a lower temperature suitable for the fabric you're using, applying gentle pressure. Make sure to follow your adhesive's heat tolerance guidelines.
Overlay with a Teflon Sheet
Place a Teflon sheet over the entire design to ensure even heat distribution and prevent any adhesive from potentially sticking to your heat press. Heat press carefully as per instructions on your rhinestone adhesive.
Secure with a Clamping Method
If the fabric or item allows, you can use a clamp press for additional pressure while it dries and sets. This works especially well with larger projects or when needing a more secure adhesion.
Tips for Successful Application
Test First
It’s always a good idea to test your method on a scrap piece of fabric to fine-tune your technique and avoid any mishaps on your final product.
Use the Right Adhesive
Make sure to select an adhesive that's appropriate for both your rhinestones and the fabric type you are working with. Check the adhesive’s drying time and heat settings.
Check for Heat Compatibility
Different rhinestones and fabrics have different heat tolerances. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for both to prevent damage.
Experiment with these methods and soon you'll be adorning your fabrics with rhinestones like a pro! Remember, practice makes perfect, and each project becomes a canvas for your creativity. 🌟
