This runner pattern is not directional- the flowers grow from both ends of the rug. Only 22 inches wide, it will fit in the hall of an older home, or down the center of a table. It is a simple rug to b done is in a 4 or 6 cut.  Might be a little big for a first pattern, but a beginner can definitely hook this piece.
