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.

Round cape
Cover on a round chair
Standard knitted capes are made round, because this greatly simplifies the work. The crocheted chair seat should be small in size, and therefore one product can be made within a day. The mats for the stools will look more beautiful if you use several shades to make them. To crochet, you need to remember a simple procedure:
- It all starts with picking up air loops, which are finally connected into a ring.
- It is advisable to make the first column with single crochet loops wrapped around the ring.
- Next, the chair cover can be crocheted using any pattern, the main thing is to carefully monitor the number of stitches.

The final stage is decoration
Here, show all your imagination and bring all your ideas to life. This, of course, can be done by experienced craftswomen. 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.
Knitted covers for upholstered furniture and chairs
As a rule, special dense fabric is used as upholstery for chairs and poufs. But for the winter, knitted covers for sofas, armchairs, chairs and stools will be very appropriate. Knitting is associated with warmth and comfort, so such original handmade covers will decorate your home and create a gentle and truly homely atmosphere, which is especially valuable in winter.
It's like huge sweaters are put on upholstered furniture! Large voluminous patterns, delicate pastel or bright colors, imitation of embossed upholstery, lace or something else original - needlewomen can fully demonstrate their imagination and talent. Knitted covers will look especially interesting on old antique furniture as a way to restore upholstery.
If you decide to knit a cover, it is better to ensure that it is easily removable. Knitted covers can and should be washed in a washing machine on the woolen cycle. This will be especially true for light-colored products.
What threads are used to knit chair covers?
You can use various threads for clothing on furniture. But it is not advisable to have a 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.
