Knitting enthusiasts create unique things, and interior items are no exception. For example, furniture covers help refresh it and maintain its original appearance, and they can be made from any durable yarn. Crocheting covers for chairs and stools is easy, especially when using a step-by-step master class. Using your favorite colors and unique patterns will make the cape unique, and you can choose the pattern to suit your skill level.
How to crochet a seat on a chair
Crocheting a seat is a simple, quick and interesting job. Any thread will do, preferably not very thin, of course, such as Caucasian yarn, acrylic, acrylic with cotton or wool.
Approximate consumption is about 200 - 250 grams.
Usually the seats are made double-sided - the upper part is knitted according to the main pattern, and the lower part - with some simple pattern. The two finished parts are crocheted together.
You can knit a single-layer one, and to prevent the cape from slipping off the chair, tie a small side to it and insert an elastic band or braid into it.
In general, you can decorate the edge of the seat with anything you want - tassels, bows, pompoms and even peacock eyes. See examples below.
Tips for beginners
In order for a knitted product to serve for many years and delight its owners, you should take care of the yarn. For work, it is better to choose synthetic yarn, for example, acrylic or cotton with the addition of synthetic fibers. For the crocheting process, it is recommended to use thicker threads. This is necessary to ensure that the rug fabric is dense and warm. Accordingly, you need to choose a larger hook. Before starting work, you need to knit a sample, a small square, wash and iron it. This technique will help with determining the size of the finished product. When the sample has dried, you need to measure it and, using a simple arithmetic proportion, calculate the number of loops that are needed to obtain a rug of the required size.
You can choose any knitting pattern. The main criterion is its attractiveness. You can even use a diagram for a napkin, or any other one you like, as well as use the diagrams and descriptions presented below.
Small scraps of yarn of different colors will make a rather attractive and interesting rug. This technique will allow you to use the accumulated remnants of threads that are a pity to throw away, but you won’t be able to knit anything from them. But it is worth remembering that the thickness of the thread should be the same over the entire surface of the product.

In order for the product to serve longer and maintain its appearance, you need to make a base for the future rug from dense fabric. If the rug is of insufficient size, the situation can be quite easily corrected with the help of a border. The rug must be tied around the perimeter with the required number of additional rows.
In order not to have to unravel the knitted rug and redo part of it, you need to carefully follow the icons in the diagram.
Square crochet seats using weaving technique
Square rugs are suitable for chairs and stools with square-shaped seats. The simplest seats are most often knitted using a granny square.
But today we have original ideas.
There is no need for a pattern here; you need to tie several strips together with regular posts of any width, with a length equal to the width of the stool, and then weave them together using the darning method. I already told you that I once tried to weave a seat like this, but in the end it turned out to be a bag)).
See how you can decorate your interior with different things using this weaving technique.
Stages of manufacturing various models
The process of crocheting covers for chairs and stools usually consists of several stages. The simplest are round and square-shaped seats, and products for decorating the backrest. One-piece models require more skill and attention.

To make round stool covers practical and comfortable, an elastic band is threaded into the edge of the sides. With its help, the product will fit perfectly on the furniture. If desired, the edge can be decorated with the main pattern, then the model will acquire volume and an unusual appearance.
The diameter of the cape should be 1 cm less than the seat.
