Stardew Valley fan HermioneStranger_ shared a photo of their gorgeous custom throw rug, which features the familiar night screen. At the end of each in-game day, players are shown a nighttime scene with a table that will tally all the items they sold from their shipping bin in Stardew Valley. While many gamers will focus on the gold they made from their hard labors, others have voiced an appreciation for the calming background graphics on this screen. Taking inspiration from the iconic view, OP decided to craft a handmade rug featuring the iconic image. The scene shows a small cabin with white smoke rising from its chimney, as stars twinkle in a pink and purple sky above. Made from soft acrylic yarn and a felt backing, the colorful rug perfectly captures the wholesome atmosphere that fans love about Stardew Valley.
