What will you need at work?
The pads on the stool need to be hard and able to hold their shape. Twisted, thick yarn is best suited for knitting them.
True, you can also use many other threads. If the choice is given to thin options, the yarn should simply be folded several times. It will also be possible to create incredibly beautiful openwork covers for a stool. When choosing yarn, keep in mind that it may shrink. As a rule, such changes are observed when choosing materials with a natural composition. For example, cotton or wool threads. Before you start working with them, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory manipulations. The yarn is wetted and then dried. True, you can also simply make a small increase during the knitting process, taking into account shrinkage.

Often, needlewomen prefer polyester round cord. Capes made from it are practical and keep their shape well. In addition, threads made from plastic bags are often used. Such products are capable of providing complete surface protection, but are not very convenient to use.
Products made from merino wool yarn look incredibly impressive, but are considered not entirely practical. Pills often form on such capes.
Experienced needlewomen manage to create similar products even from leftover threads. When combined correctly, you can get incredibly beautiful and bright capes. The main thing is that all materials have the same thickness. Otherwise, the product will not have the proper appearance and will take on an unattractive appearance.
The hook is selected taking into account the diameter of the yarn. As a rule, an instrument of at least number three is used. It is recommended to give preference to steel products. Hooks made of wood and plastic break quickly, and those made of aluminum bend.

Legend
A whole system of symbols and abbreviations has been developed over the many years of knitting. However, it is not possible even for experienced needlewomen to remember all the signs, images and abbreviations. Moreover, individual symbols are created for many diagrams and descriptions. However, a beginning needlewoman should learn basic system concepts even before starting independent work:
Decor options
After the capes are knitted, they can be decorated and thus give the products an even more attractive look. There are a huge number of decorating methods. Among the most successful options are the following:
- sew fringe or lace around the perimeter;
- fix lush tassels in the corners;
- tie around the edge using fancy yarn. For example, grass and pompom thread will look impressive;
- apply the application method;
- sew flat, fairly large buttons to the fabric;
- give things intended for children the appearance of the faces of various animals;
- complement the composition with the help of peculiar leg warmers or socks that are put on the legs of the stool.
Of course, you should not use all of the above options at once when creating decor. It is extremely important that the decorative elements match the color of the case and match its texture. It is clearly not worth using decor in the form of pompoms on openwork items. It is also inappropriate to use appliques on multi-colored pillows.
To make the decor attractive, you should adhere to the following recommendations:
- Bright elements look great on a plain background;
- when using thick threads in the knitting process, decor in the form of pompoms and fringes is quite appropriate;
- miniature covers that fit on the legs are best knitted from the same material as the cape;
- if several different materials were used in the work, the finish should correspond to one of them.
Every needlewoman can create stylish things that can become a real decoration of a room. The main thing is to approach this process responsibly and take into account all the important nuances. The first step is to decide on the model, select the appropriate tools and materials. When they are at hand, you can begin to study the diagram and perform basic manipulations. As a result, you will receive a unique product that will certainly transform the interior and make it brighter and more comfortable.
