Types of knitted wraps for chairs and stool

Crocheting furniture covers for furniture takes a lot of time. Knitting covers for chairs are made much faster, but do not look so attractive and airy. The finished product will help to return the attractive appearance of the outdated furniture, fit it into the rest of the interior, increase the service life and make it convenient. Before you begin to create, you need to study what types of wraps are, as well as their features.

2. One-piece chair covers. Production will require a little more time than the first option. If the shape of the seat is round, then the work is facilitated several times - tying corners is a painstaking work. The creation process begins with a set of air loops. There are more than ten pieces of patterns used. The work ends with the creation of an elastic sidewall that will fit on the furniture, holding the product.
3. Crochet square stool cover. Such a product will help save time for a needlewoman. The easiest way is to crochet stripes, for this you can use the remaining threads from other balls and make the details multicolored. Most often, a square cape on a chair is created dense, but you can also apply lace technique.
4. Separate case. Such a product has two parts: a back and a seat. Each element can be made in its own color, choosing the right combination. The knitting technique is also chosen by the craftswoman.

Necessary materials and tools

Before you begin to work, you need to familiarize yourself with the recommendations for choosing threads and tools. After examining the diagrams and description, make sure that the selected material is suitable for work. Difficulties arise in the selection of yarn. It is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the threads, the intensity of use of the seat, so that the product lasts a long time, it is convenient.

Recommendations for choosing threads:

• do not use yarn with a high content of wool, with the exception of a cape for warming a chair or stool;
• the width should be medium (from 120 to 230 m per 100 g);
• when choosing threads of different colors and shades, it is important to take the same width of each yarn;
• needlewomen recommend choosing “Iris” threads, they are perfectly erased, the product does not sit down.

If you need to knit square, round or any other capes, use a hook that should fit in size to the yarn, but not less than 3 mm. It is recommended to create a product in three threads, so the cover will be tight.

The main condition for choosing a hook is the convenience for the craftswoman. An incorrectly selected tool will make the cloak loose. If knitting did not work out, you should reconsider the choice of the hook, its thin place should be half the thread.

Knitting methods and decoding schemes

Knitting covers and chair covers seems difficult. If you decide on the main notation in the schemes and analyze the types of loops, then this is not so difficult. There are reading rules that you should remember:

1. The scheme of ordinary knitting is read from bottom to top, circular - disassembled from the center to the edges.
2. The odd row is calculated from right to left, even - from left to right.
3. When knitting round wraps on stools, the wrap starts from the center. So that the radius does not increase, use lifting loops. The number of columns that are added in the next row is equal to their number in the previous row.

When crocheting with patterns, it is important to understand the conventions:

1. Oval - air loops.
2. A cross is a single crochet (used to increase density).
3. The letter "T" is a half-column with a crochet.
4. The crossed out letter "T" is a single crochet column.
5. The double crossed-out letter “T” is a double crochet column.
6. Three times crossed symbol “T” - three crochets.
7. The letter "X" with a loop on top means a twisted column. Used at the end of knitting.
8. "X" with a dash on top - knitting with a connecting loop, used for circular knitting.

In simple patterns for crocheting rugs and chair covers only the main types of loops are used: airy, columns with or without crochets, connecting, magnificent columns.This restriction does not prevent you from creating a beautiful and original wrap with a pattern.

Decoration options

Even if a chair cover or cape was created for convenience and insulation, they should be decorated. This will refresh the interior, make the product unique and interesting:

1. The canvas is often decorated with tassels and lace along the edge. They are easy to diversify the square rug.
2. A great option for a children's room - pompons, they harmoniously fit into a cover for the back of a chair.
3. Another way to make furniture brighter is to decorate the wraps with embroidery. It is not recommended to take beads and volumetric schemes.
4. The leggings became a hit - small socks on furniture legs, they complement a one-piece cover. To create such a decor is easy.
5. Beads are used on the backs of chairs at the back, so the decoration will not interfere and spoil the canvas.
6. Another option is bows made of fabric that matches the color. They will decorate the back of the chair.

Jewelry and knitted fabric should be designed in the same color scheme.

A square rug for a chair or stool, as well as seamlessly tied covers, will refresh the interior design and make the furniture soft and comfortable. It is recommended to knit crochet to give the fabric density and create patterns. Before you begin, you need to choose the right tool, thread, understand reading the diagrams.
