A person who loves to knit always surrounds himself with wonderful things. The bed will not be left without attention - we will create a lovely bedspread or blanket for it. There are special covers for sofas and armchairs. You can even knit adorable covers. But this article will tell you about the stool and chair. And how to make them cozier with a crochet hook.

Crochet stool seats: review of models

Let's get started and start with the stool. So, the venerable stools come in round and square shapes. Accordingly, capes can be in the shape of a circle or square. And there are so many patterns for these capes. From the usual “granny square” to the fabulous openwork. Additionally, there may be sides that secure the product.

Review of knitted chair covers

The abundance of new models of chairs, the presence of clear frames, magnificent wood carvings and other delights of civilization do not exclude the need for an accessory. Remember the best English films - there is not a single event where the chairs are not dressed up. And how cozy a cafe in your city would be if you were greeted by such elegant chairs.

Of all the existing models of crocheted chairs, only two types can be distinguished:

• solid;
• separate.

What threads are used to knit chair covers?

You can use various threads for clothing on furniture. But not desirable with high wool content. A very warm thread will be inappropriate in the summer. The thickness should be above average. There are no and cannot be any restrictions on color. The creator is a designer and a magician.

Particular attention to thorny threads. They can be used. As pharmacologists say, this place will tolerate anything (this is about drugs and injections). An exception may be high chairs.

Which hook is suitable for knitting stool covers?

The furniture will not require a special hook. But The size should in any case be greater than 3. It is better to knit in several threads, so any product will be stronger. Yes, and you need to keep in shape. The main thing is that the hook should be convenient for the master.

Important! When knitting accessories for furniture, the hook should be selected strictly according to size. It should fit the thread. Loose knitting should not be allowed. If the hook is chosen correctly, then the fabric from it will always be strong. Ideally, the thinnest part of the hook should be strictly half the thickness of the thread.

Knitting seats for stools: patterns with descriptions

A small selection of models with the most interesting ideas for home comfort. Basic models in different presentations. A convenient description, diagrams and list of necessary materials will help everyone cope with this “difficult craft”.

Square cover for stool

Another revival of the “granny square”. Looks very charming on a wooden stool. The ease of knitting this pattern, its endless compositions - all this is very flattering to the craftsmen.

To work you will need:

• yarn of different colors, 50 g each;
• hook number 3.

This product is created from small motifs. Each element should be completed separately. Make squares according to the given diagram. Start in the center of the square. You can easily adjust the size of one square.

Important! All motifs must be square and strictly the same size.

The final touch to the work will be assembly. The connection occurs with a contrasting thread. The hook is inserted into the symmetrical loops of the edge of the squares and a connecting post is made.

Important! In order for the squares to fit more closely to each other and to prevent waves from forming, it is better to make the connection with a crochet one size smaller (than the one used to knit such motifs themselves).

Round cover with sides for a stool

It is most convenient to create a round cover using single crochets. In addition, with this pattern the weaving is much denser and thicker. For variety, you can combine several colors.

To work you will need:

• white yarn;
• hook number 4.

Knitting a lovely circle starts from the center.

1. It is advisable to make the first loop like an amigurumi toy (it’s called an amigurumi loop). This will create a very dense center without a hole.
2. Next, knit the required number of single crochets into the loop according to the pattern.
3. Lifting loop and then knit single crochets with additions.
4. According to the diagram, make so many rows so that the diameter matches the stool model.
5. Next, several rows (depending on the thickness of the stool) without changes.

Important! It is better to make the diameter of the cape one cm smaller so that the product wraps more tightly around the seat. When the cape is ready and knitted, you can use an elastic thread to pass simple connecting posts along the edge of the side. With this approach, nothing will fly off the seat, along with the person getting up.

How to crochet a square rug for a stool

A square rug can be knitted by knitting in the round, no matter how ridiculous it may sound. This model will tell you more about this.

To work you will need:

• the yarn is thick;
• hook number 4.

The diagram clearly shows how all the symbols fit together and formed a square. But the technique itself is knitting in the round.

1. The product begins with several air loops. You can cheat and avoid a “hole” in the product. So, you will need to start not with a ring of air loops, but with an amigurumi loop.
2. Next, knitting occurs strictly according to the pattern.
3. Additions occur at four points - these are the corners of the square. This is why the shape is a square and not a circle.

Interesting shaped rug for a stool

Capes with impossible weaves have always attracted attention. If you study the diagram more closely, it is immediately clear that there is practically nothing complicated here. The colors of the rings were chosen in a very original way, compatible, but with outright contrast.

To work you will need:

• yarn in black, gray and white colors;
• hook number 4.

The yarn for such a cape should be of good quality; natural fibers can be used. It is important that the black yarn is dark without scuffs and other defects.

According to the pattern, you need to knit three white, three black and three gray rings. Moreover, you need to knit in alternations: first white, then black, then gray. One important point - each new ring, its first chain of air loops (33 loops) must close the previous ring. The ring itself has only two rows of double crochets. Separately knit the base for the rings according to the pattern. Assembly consists of sewing two parts together.

Important! The base is not round, so when sewing, you should pay attention to the bends of the rings and the base.

Sewed on, ironed, slightly moistened and dried. These are the last verbs that will prepare the cape for the first exit and covering the chair.

Separately create flowers and mesh, then sew them on and you can decorate them with tassels.

How to decorate a knitted cover for a chair and stool

The decoration for the cover can also be a pattern from the canvas itself, various flowers, lace and other borders (for example, tassels). Pompoms are often used.

You can use embroidery, but not with beads and not voluminous. Everything that is beautiful and soft is suitable to become decoration.

Heaters have become very fashionable and popular for decorating chairs and stools - these are socks on the legs of a chair. They will greatly complement the picture of a knitted fabric for a seat if they are also crocheted.

Not only the fringe around the perimeter of the cape is charming, but also the various hanging knitted things.

Beads and large beads can be used, as an exception, and only for the back of the back. It serves as a great canvas for creativity. After all, the body practically does not come into contact with this part. This could be a huge bow. Moreover, the bow itself can be made of a plain fabric, or the color simply matches the knitted product. The most interesting thing is that you can tie the bow yourself using the same crochet hook. Such a small instrument, but ready to do big things and big things. Do not forget about the limits, or you can spoil the canvas with unnecessary details. Everything should be in the same style. There is no need to fashion each style into a fashionable item.

Perhaps someone likes bows or something made from ribbons. Why not. After all, this is a matter of taste and the designer here is the creator himself.

This is a post compilation. For inspiration. Knitted chair covers are a bedspread that not only decorates and creates coziness in the home, but also has a practical purpose. This “cover” protects the chairs from external influences and allows the upholstery to last longer. However, such covers can hide defects on furniture.

In fact, you can choose any or, it doesn’t matter, the main thing in this matter is imagination.

Here is a simple example of a bedspread. Here a simple crochet motif was taken.

This is a small world with which we are connected by thousands of threads: Here we spend our free time all day long, in our house various miracles take place, the first steps and great discoveries of our little ones. It is for this reason that we need to be sensitive to the environment around us.

Beautiful original knitted items can add special charm and warmth to our home. It is better to knit them from thick, smooth yarn, on which the pattern is clearly visible.

Let's look at the variety of knitted covers for armchairs and chairs. The most important thing is that they can be knitted from leftover threads, and an avid knitter will always have such threads. Let's start knitting chair covers

During the cold months of the year, it is difficult to imagine yourself without essential accessories: knitted sweaters and jackets, warm woolen socks and leg warmers, colorful scarves and hats. Why not insulate your furniture? In knitted clothes they will create a cozy, soulful atmosphere, filling the interior with warmth, softness and tenderness.

Let's start with your favorite chair to make it even more comfortable for you to sit in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot mulled wine.

And finally, ideas and descriptions of how to knit a coat-cover for your favorite chair. In general, this is not an easy job, but you can admire the result endlessly. First, take measurements correctly from all parts, draw them on paper and when you knit, do not forget to attach the knitted fabric to them.

The patterns can be anything - diamonds, braids, waffles with cones, in general, choose what your imagination tells you. Looking at these photos, you can already imagine how your chair will look in this or that new thing.

For example, for such a chair the quantity loops on the side and front parts of the back and seat are 160 loops. Although this is not important, because the sizes of the chairs are different and everyone will have to calculate them on their own. Moreover, the more patterns, the more yarn consumption and the narrower the fabric, because the patterns(especially braids and waffles) I tighten the fabric, in other words, narrow it.

Well, if you don’t want to bother and think that you can’t handle such a job yet, then you can simply knit the capes to the size of your chair. You can simply throw them on the chair or sew on an elastic band.

Chair cover with openwork pattern

Finished cape size: 45 x 180 cm.
To make a cape we will need: white yarn (50% cotton, 50% acrylic, 104 m/100 g) - 700 g, knitting needles No. 6.
Openwork pattern: knit according to the pattern.
Garter stitch: knit and purl rows - LP only.
We observe the knitting density: 28 p. openwork pattern (1 repeat) = 14.5 cm.

Description of work

Cast on 88 stitches and work 4 rows in garter stitch. Next we knit with an openwork pattern, starting from the 1st (front) row, as follows: we knit 2 loops before the repeat, repeat 28 repeat loops three times, at the end we knit 2 loops after the repeat. Repeat rows 1-10 in height. Further, at a height of 178 cm, after knitting the eighth row of the openwork pattern, in the next ninth row we do not perform yarn overs. We knit the next purl row according to the pattern, then we knit four rows in garter stitch, after which we bind off all the loops.

If you are familiar with knitting, then you can practice your skills in chair covers. Crocheting here is more relevant than knitting, since the patterns created will not be so original.

A crocheted chair seat can not only significantly decorate the interior, but also protect the surface of the furniture from dirt and preserve its original appearance longer.

Crocheting for beginners is very interesting. This can quickly become a good hobby for many mothers who want to update their home decor.

Before you start crocheting rugs for chairs, you need to select suitable threads.

Here are some tips:

1. Experts advise choosing a yarn called “Iris” for the rug. They have a rich mass of colors, are easy to hook and are not too thick.
2. If you decide to knit a cape with your own hands to insulate the surface of a chair, then it is better to turn your attention to wool yarn.
3. Will your crochet chair seats consist of several shades? Choose the same type of yarn so that they are the same size both in appearance and feel, this will simplify the work.

These simple lessons will help you decide on the right yarn. Fortunately, now you can find anything on store shelves and the selection process will not take much time.

Square cape

Knitting a square cape

Crocheting chair covers is not limited to round options. Square ones can also surprise with their attractiveness, and their production can be carried out in an economical mode. A square crocheted chair rug is made in the form of knitting strips on which you can use the remains of any yarn. The order of operations can be as follows:

• Before knitting the rug, measure the seat of the chair, because the length of the strips should be equal to it.
• Knit as many strips as are expected for the same stool size.
• After this, they are folded into one sheet and tied to the edge with cap loops.
• A knitted chair cover can be decorated with a border, which in turn will prevent it from sliding across the surface.
• You can also diversify the napkin with small tassels running along the edge.

We will weave our cover from multi-colored stripes. The stripes are knitted like a double crochet (dc). This cape required 22 strips.
We collect 11 strips into a single canvas. We tie them along the narrow edge. We knit RLS (single crochet).
This is what the tied edge of the work should look like. We also tie the other 11 strips.
Then we intertwine the strips in a checkerboard pattern so that we get squares. We tie these squares along the contour and connect them into one fabric. We tie the resulting fabric along the edge with an RLS (single crochet). Next, we knit 2 VP (chain loops) lifting, knit the next row with a dc.

We tie the edge and finish the work with a series of arches from 3 VPs, repeat after 4 columns. We make a fringe like this

Knitted seats last a long time and do not require special care. They are washable in a washing machine only at low temperatures - the only condition for their use. A crocheted chair cover would be a good gift for a resident of any country.

What are they needed for?

Any knitted items, be it rugs, runners, sofa covers, armchairs, chairs, evoke certain associations associated with childhood. I remember the moments when, when you come to visit your grandmother, you see knitted products - napkins, rugs and curtains.

Furniture covers are mostly rectangular in shape. Their dimensions depend on the length and width of the sofa, and also take into account the height of the legs. It is more difficult to knit throws on a corner sofa. They will be irregular in shape; you should carefully calculate the dimensions. In this case, it is better to divide the sofa into two different parts and determine the dimensions separately. Then choose a method for connecting two connected canvases.

On a note. Any needlewoman can knit such a thing as a cape on her own. There are many magazines on sale that contain diagrams and patterns. Also visit handicraft sites on the Internet. This can be a model connected by a whole canvas or individual elements - squares, triangles, circles.

Beginning needlewomen who are not confident in their use of knitting tools can “disguise” their creation by choosing “grass” or boucle yarn for work, thereby brightening up all the unevenness and imperfections in the finished product. An original item can be created from thick yarn with a loosened knitting, and they knit quite quickly.

Capes made from multi-colored threads look great. Take one color as a basis, choosing halftones for it. The main product can be trimmed with fringe, tassels, a jagged edge, a voluminous canvas - there are many options.

Whatever model you choose, it will perfectly refresh your interior and bring a feeling of real home comfort.
