It's no secret that the beauty of a room and its convenience mainly consists of various small details. And one of the ways to transform the interior is to fill it with decorative elements: vases, paintings, figurines, blankets, tablecloths and other things. One of these items is a small rug for a chair. You don’t have to buy it, just pick up a hook and knit it yourself. Even an inexperienced needlewoman who is picking up a tool for the first time can cope with the process. By showing your imagination, you can decorate your home, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort to it.

Experienced craftswomen know where to start, but for beginners they need to decide on several preparatory points:

IMPORTANT! The comfort of further work and its final result will depend on how thoroughly the preparatory stage is carried out.

Ideas for knitted rugs for chairs

In order to knit an attractive and unusual item, you need to decide on the knitting method. The rug can be made in one piece or assembled from motifs. In the second option, there are two ways to do the job. The first is to knit the required number of parts and assemble them into a single fabric using a needle or use the continuous knitting method. You can also knit this item from leftover yarn and get a multi-colored item that will add bright colors to the appearance of the room.

We offer you several options of different shapes that you can use as a sample. Or come up with your own version based on their example.

Knitting a square rug

Square is one of the most common shapes for rugs. It is good because it perfectly follows the curves of a classic stool. By extending the knitting on the sides, you can form a removable mat in the form of a cover. This will be an ideal solution for decorating the kitchen. We offer two variations of this item made in different techniques.

Seat connected in one piece

This variation looks very impressive when made from contrasting colors.

To implement you will need:

• yarn in red, pink and white colors;
• hook;
• thick fabric and a little padding;
• needle and thread.

Sequencing:

1. Knit a fabric of the required size according to the pattern.
2. Sew a lining for the rug from fabric and filling.
3. Sew the lining to the base.
4. Tie the product with five rows of dc.
5. Tie four leaves according to the pattern and the cuttings to them.
6. Sew leaves onto the cuttings at the corners of the product.

Multi-element model

This variation is often called “grandmother’s rug.” This name stuck due to the fact that the end result is similar to the ancient products that our ancestors knitted.

This method is based on making small squares and stitching them into a single piece. For work, you can use leftover threads. This method is great for liquidating leftover yarn from other projects. Squares can be knitted according to the following patterns.

ATTENTION! Elements do not necessarily have to be connected by a single pattern and in the same color. Experiment and get an interesting and unusual result.

How to knit a round seat

Round stools have taken a strong place in the kitchen. And with intensive use, their surface quickly becomes unusable. By covering the seat with a rug, you will extend the life of the stool. Knitting a round cape is the easiest thing to do. But despite this, the result exceeds expectations.

This product will decorate any room. To begin, dial a chain of 4 v. p. and knit a circle of the required diameter according to the pattern.

If you wish, you can knit a border around the edge that will hold the cape on the seat.

Other options for knitting rugs for chairs

Square and circle are not the only suitable shapes for seating. They can be made in the form of a hexagon, flower or other variation.

Any option is available to you. It is enough to show your imagination and put a piece of your soul and talent into the product, and a charming, extraordinary decoration will appear in your home.

Such an insignificant thing as a rug on a chair can greatly change the interior of a room and create a unique feeling of coziness and comfort. And if it was made with your own hands, and a piece of care and love was put into it, then, undoubtedly, it will attract the attention of not only household members, but also guests. It’s not at all difficult to make and there’s no need to buy special yarn for it either, because there’s always at least a little extra thread left after knitting. And now let’s look at a few examples of how to crochet an unusual and warm rug for a chair of various shapes.

Crochet a square rug for a chair with diagrams and descriptions

Square-shaped stools are often found in our everyday life, so such a rug will certainly be useful to many.

For knitting you will need several colors of yarn: from white to dark shades of any color and a hook.

1. We form the first circular row. To do this, we make a ring from the working thread and knit three chain stitches. Next we make a square: 2 columns s/neck, 3 v.p., 3 columns s/n., v.p., 3 columns s/n., 3 v.p., 3 columns s/ nak., 3 v.p., conn.st. into the third lifting loop.
2. The next row is 3 vp, then from each arch of the bottom row we knit 3 sts/s, 3 chs, 3 sts/s. In the last arch we make 2 pillars. and conn. column in the third point of the rise.
3. Then again 3 ch, and knit the elongated loops two rows below (now this is the center): yarn over, hook the thread through the center, pull it out and knit a stitch.

Then another 1 column.s/nak.

From the corner 3 columns with / on, 3 v.p., 3 columns with / on.

The next side is from the middle of a group of 3 pillars. we knit 3 stitches, the middle one with an elongated loop. Then we repeat from the corner arch to the end of the circle.

1. The fourth row repeats the same as in the third, only we make the elongated loop correctly, because the two rows below are now between the first and second rows.
2. In each subsequent row, the number of column corner groups increases, and on the sides - the number of elongated groups. loops. At the same time, we change the color of the yarn, creating a contrast of elongated loops against a background of a different color.

Another tip: you don’t need to tighten the loops so that the sides don’t pull towards the center.

Having reached the required size, we knit 4 rows without stretching. loops, and in the corners only columns. - these are the sides of the rug.

You get such interesting touches.

Trying to make an unusual round rug in a master class

A round rug can easily be placed on a square chair and this will not spoil it in any way, so this shape is preferable to a square one.

Let's look at two diagrams and descriptions.

Knitting density: 10 cm width = 7 stitches with double yarn.

For lifting the first column.s/nak. replace with v.p., st. s/2nk. – on 4 v.p.

Lush stitch - knit an unknitted stitch.s/2nak. (there are 2 loops on the hook) - twice in one loop, you get 3 loops on the hook, and we knit everything in one pass.

A knitted rug according to this description will measure about 38 cm.

1. We connect 4 vp in a circle, the second row 10 b/c.
2. Next 2 columns/2nak. in one loop in a circle.
3. 1 column b/nak., 2 column b/nak. in one loop - the whole row.
4. Then a row of 2 lush pillars. in one loop, ch 3, skip 2 loops.
5. Then 1 column b/nak. x 2 times, 3 columns b/nak. into the arch of the bottom row - in a circle.
6. 2 columns/2pok. in one loop, 1 post/2nd. x 4 times – and so on.
7. Last row – 1 column b/n., 1 v.p., 1 column b/n. x 3 times, 1 vp, 1 column b/n. x 2 times.

The knitting pattern can be seen below.

The product according to this scheme will have a diameter of about 51 cm.

1. We dial 4 v.p. and connect them in a circle, knit the second row 12 stitches.
2. Then 2 columns/2nak. into each pillar.
3. Further in a circle, 1 column b/nak., 2 columns b/nak. in one loop, 1 column b/nak., 2 column b/nak. in one loop.
4. Next circle: 2 columns/2k. in one column., 1 column.s/2nak. x 2 times, 2 columns/2k. in one column., 1 column.s/2nak. x 2 times, etc.
5. Then circle: 1 column b/nak. x 3 times, 2 columns b / nak. in one loop, 1 column b/nak. x 4 times and repeat further.
6. Lush column, 3 ch, skip 3 loops, 2 lush columns. in one column, 3 ch, skip 3 loops, fluffy column. and further in a circle.
7. 1 column b/n., 4 columns b/n. in the arch of the bottom row, 1 column b/nak. x 2 times, 4 columns b/nak. in the arch, 1 column b/nak. - round.
8. Then row - 1 column with / 2 back. x 11 times, 2 columns/2k. in one loop.
9. Next 1 column b/nak. x 6 times, (1 st. b/n., 1 v.p., 1 st. b/n.) in one loop, 1 st. b/n. x 6 times. etc.

The products are ready, you can try them on. Of course, sizes may change after washing, so take this factor into account when knitting.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated about this and, if you follow all the instructions, you will get a nice seat for the chair.

If you have experience in knitting, you can make a chair cover from individual motifs. It looks very nice, but requires a little more effort.

Rugs crocheted or knitted bring not only aesthetic pleasure, they can also hide the shortcomings of chairs or armchairs well. Thus, by replacing old seats with new ones, you can periodically change the decor in your home and update the interior.

Video for beginners on the topic of the article

The video below will help you figure out some unclear aspects of the work or get a new idea for making a rug with your own hands.

Not long ago on the Internet I saw photos of bright crocheted rugs of stunning beauty, apparently from Japanese magazines. I tried to figure out knitting patterns and technology. These new ideas turned out to be very easy to implement and I want to talk about them, and of course show off what kind of rugs I made.

The materials you will need are a few remnants of wool or synthetic yarn of different colors, but of the same thickness, and a hook No. 2 -2.5. The threads must be of the same thickness in order to obtain a high-quality, even product.

To make such rugs, you need to knit four strips of different colors separately according to the pattern:

First, we knit a chain of 60 loops (the result is a rug measuring approximately 30x30 cm, but this also depends on the thickness of the threads), we tie the chain with non-woven stitches.

• 2nd row: 4 stitches for lifting, 1 double crochet from the first stitch of the previous row, 14 double crochets, 4 double crochets from one loop of the previous row, 14 double crochets, 4 double crochets from one loop of the previous row, 28 double crochets, 2 double crochets from one loop of the previous row. You already get a strip with 4 rounded corners.

From the 3rd to the 6th row, knit with double crochets; in the corners for rounding we make increases as follows:

Upper and lower right corners (at the ends of the strip)

At the beginning of each row, instead of the first stitch, we knit 4 loops for lifting.

• 3rd row: 2 double crochets in each of the 2 corner stitches of the previous row,
• 4th row: *2 double crochets from one double crochet from one corner of the previous row, one double crochet*, repeat one more time,
• 5th row: *two double crochets, 2 double crochets from one double crochet corner of the previous row*, repeat once,
• 6th row: *2 double crochets from one double crochet stitch from the corner of the previous row, three double crochets*, repeat once.

Upper left corner

• 3rd row: 2 double crochets in each of the 4 corner stitches of the previous row,
• 4th row: 4 groups of 2 double crochets from one double crochet from one corner of the previous row, between them one double crochet,
• 5th row: 4 groups of 2 double crochets from one column of the corner of the previous row, between them there are two double crochets,
• 6th row: 4 groups of 2 double crochets from one column of the corner of the previous row, between them there are three double crochets.

We knit the lower left corner in a special way, which gives an additional effect to the rug:

• 3rd row: 2 unfinished double crochets, knitted together, in each of the 4 corner stitches of the previous row and 1 chain stitch (CH) between them,
• 4th row: 2 unfinished double crochets, knitted together, 1 ch, 2 unfinished double crochets, knitted together, from one group of corner stitches of the previous row, knit 2 more such groups, 1 ch between them,
• 5th row: we knit 3 groups similarly to the 4th row, between them there are 2 unfinished double crochets, knitted together,
• 6th row: we knit 3 groups similarly to the 5th row, between them there are two times 2 unfinished double crochets, knitted together.

• 7th row: we tie all the loops with non-woven stitches.

The finished strips need to be sequentially sewn together: to the long side of one strip we sew the short side of the second and so on.

Now the resulting long colored knitted ribbon needs to be intertwined as follows, as shown in the diagram:

I knitted small colored strips for a sample and will show you how to weave them. I sewed the stripes in the following order: gray, turquoise, burgundy, pink.

We place one strip of the resulting colored tape (gray) on the table, and bring the entire tape up under the gray strip.

Since the stripes have rounded corners, they themselves turn where they need to. We wind the tape to the left, then down and to the right under the gray and turquoise stripes.

Then we turn up onto the gray stripe, left and down under the turquoise stripe, and bring it out in the middle part of the receiving rug above the gray stripe.

We bring the ribbon under the burgundy stripe down, bring it above the gray stripe and then turn it to the right over the turquoise stripe and up under the burgundy stripe.

If, perhaps, it is not immediately clear from the drawing how to weave a ribbon from strips, then during the manufacturing process this will become more obvious.

We connect the ends of the strips (in my case, gray and pink) and for strength, so that the strips retain their shape and do not move, we grab them from the wrong side with threads.

It turns out to be a wonderful, original, bright rug that can be used for stools, for example.

To make a floor mat, you can knit according to the pattern and sew on the base.

We start knitting from the center and knit a square with double crochets, making increases in the four corners first with two VPs, and then in the same way as when knitting stripes.

Multi-colored mat-cover from a granny square

Such cheerful and bright rugs are sure to create a great mood for the whole day, even if the weather outside is the most inclement. It is based on a granny square, which always looks advantageous and has a special warming aura. Knitted rugs can be created from leftover yarn, which is not enough for a full-fledged product, but there is nowhere to adapt it.

Materials

It is supposed to work from the remains of any yarn, it is advisable to select it of the same thickness and slightly combine colors. Hook No. 4.

Patterns used

Knitting rugs in this case is based on the granny square. True, each individual element is not a square, but a hexagon. There should be semicircles along the edges of the product.

How to make a rug for a stool?

You need to start by creating a granny square, that is, individual elements of future rugs. And the sequence of work is as follows:
1st row: cast on 3 air loops (VP) and connect them together using a connecting post (SS). Make 2 lifting loops (PP).
2 rows: then in each loop of the base, cast on 3 double crochets (DC) + 2 PP.
3 r.: 1 VP, 4 SSN, 1 VP. Continue this motif until the end of the row. When the circle ends, knit a SS to connect the beginning and end of the row. Finish work on this element.

One hexagon is already ready, it can be made in one color, or you can add a thread of a different color. For example, you can make the middle one color and the rest another. For a stool you need so many squares to cover its surface. And to make the fabric even, you need to crochet more semicircles according to this description:
1st round: dial 3 VP, enclose in a ring.
2 r.: in each loop of the previous circle, knit 2 dc.
3 r.: 1 VP, 4 SSN, 1 VP - continue to the end. Fasten the thread.

When the required number of elements is ready, connect them to each other with a crochet hook using SS. But this is not all the work, since the strapping still needs to be done. Tie the resulting fabric with a sc. After completing the first circle, dial 2 VP, the next row is Dc. Knit tightly, do not make unnecessary increases in the corners, then the seat will fit perfectly on the stool. Complete the work with arches of 3 VPs, which are repeated after 4 columns.

All that remains is to make the fringe. For it you will need even pieces of yarn used for work.

Thread the pieces into the arches and tie a knot with a crochet hook.

Simple chair seats with twisted columns

Knitting such a cover for a stool is not difficult and those who have never crocheted before can easily cope with it. At first glance, it may seem that the presented schemes are quite complex, which only experienced craftswomen can understand. But this is far from true, because everyone can cope with them, and knitting such cute clothes for chairs is not at all difficult. The seat turns out to be voluminous, so it is perfect for a stool without upholstery.

Materials

Any yarn. These may be leftovers, the composition does not matter. Crochet in the appropriate size.

Patterns used

The seat on the stool is made in the form of round flowers. Such crocheted flowers are created in twisted columns with a special hook, needle or on a handle.

Operating procedure

To create rugs, crochet a chain of 5 VPs. Connect it into a ring. Now perform 3 VPs for lifting and move on to the next line. Which is made with twisted columns. Each of them has 10-12 turns.

Twisted posts are the basis of such beautiful rugs, so they must be mastered. This can be done with a special hook using a needle or pen. How many such elements are needed? For this you need a stool, or rather the size of its seat, which will be equal to the seat. And since the flowers will be voluminous, you need 2 pieces for 1 motif.

Crochet the finished flowers together and fill them with filler, for example padding polyester. It is not recommended to use cotton wool for these purposes, as it clumps and makes the surface uneven and unattractive. To assemble individual flowers, you will also have to work with crochet, making a CC. A beautiful and soft rug for the stool is ready. You can leave it as is, or decorate it at your discretion. It is recommended to make rugs in the same color scheme for chairs in one room, then they will create a beautiful ensemble.
