Some Hispano-Moresque rugs may have been woven in Morocco. The Berber knot, tied on multiple warps is similar to the Spanish knot tied on a single warp, a feature suggesting a Moroccan origin of the Spanish knot. Moroccan rugs have not been reliably dated earlier than the nineteenth century, although rug weaving has been practiced in Morocco for many centuries.<br>

Most Moroccan rugs have symmetric knots and a few have asymmetric knots or Berber knots. Early rugs are on an allwool foundation while later rugs have a cotton foundation. The earliest rugs are based on Anatolian designs, usually with an arch or niche at both ends. They are more coarsely knotted and more brightly colored than the Anatolian rugs. Many current designs are derived from Persian models.<br>

Rugs using weft skip plain weave, weft twining, soumak structure, and tapestry structure are woven in Morocco. Some of these flatweaves may be ornamented with metal sequins. Since 1919, Moroccan rugs have been labeled "M.A.R.O.C." or "Maroc".<ref>Stone, 2013, 195</ref>
