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.

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 tightly 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.

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.

• the yarn is thick;
• hook number 4.
