Knitted stool cover: basic methods

The easiest ways to knit a cover for a round stool.

• Start knitting from the center and continue in a circle. Reach the desired diameter and stop adding loops, then knit the side. If desired, you can attach it to the chair with a cord, decorate it with tassels.

  

• Any large ornament is knitted in the center, according to the pattern for a round stool. Here it is appropriate to use a pattern of a flower, an interesting ornament or an animal.

  

  

Design options for a square seat

• A cover made of several elements. Small square, round, hexagonal elements, pre-knitted, are connected to each other with columns of air loops. This is where the remains of yarn of different colors come in handy.

  

  

• A cover woven from multi-colored strips, connected with a column with yarn over loops. Calculate the number of strips yourself, depending on the size of the stool. Connect half of the strips together and tie along the narrow edge. Do the same with the other half of the strips. Weave the resulting strips together in a checkerboard pattern. We tie the entire canvas, decorate with fringe.

  

• A cover with a volumetric pattern of pop-corn elements. The cones are knitted from columns. They add airiness and originality. You need to knit from thick acrylic yarn. Choose the color at your discretion, based on the color scheme of the interior. The cover looks better when the center of the product is made in a bright color, and becomes darker towards the edge. For example - yellow, blue, and then brown. The knitting pattern for a square of cones can be easily found on the Internet, on needlewomen's websites.
