Crochet Kitchen Stool Covers: A Charming Addition to Your Kitchen

Crochet kitchen stool covers are a charming way to add a pop of color and comfort to your kitchen space. They not only protect your stools from wear and tear but also give a cozy, homey touch to your decor. Whether you opt for a vibrant pattern or a more subtle design, these covers are a perfect way to showcase your personal style.

Materials Needed

• Hook: G6/4mm
• Yarn

Difficulty Level

Difficulty: Easy

Notes

Created to cover stools 13” in diameter and 1” thick. There is no gauge with this pattern because the size of your stool is subjective. As is the nature of crochet, the covers are very prone to stretching. The cover will look too small at first but with some muscle will stretch to fit tightly. Eventually, after some wear, they will stretch out. If your stool is comparable in diameter but is thicker than 1”, try adding rounds at the end of the pattern (after round 12) to accommodate thickness. Make one cover for however many stools you have. One skein of I Love This Cotton should make two covers with some leftover.

Finishing and Placement

Chain or braid a cord as long as necessary to secure the cover to the stool. Place cover on top of stool right side facing out, and turn stool upside down. Thread the cord through the last round of the cover and around each leg of the stool to keep it in place. Cinch the cord tight, and tie securely with a square knot. Tuck loose ends into cover underneath stool.
