I've been away for a while visiting my sister and as you can see my black armchair arm covers are looking rather good on her settee!
This is best done inbetween projects as it is very repetitive. This is assuming you know a little about crochet so is ideal for a beginner. As promised, here's the instructions which are in UK terminology.
Materials Needed :
1.25 skeins (i.e 125g) of King Cole DK Smooth yarn (or any other double knit) to make 17" x 15" cover
5mm crochet hook
Scissors and wool needle to thread in the ends.
Skills Needed:
Slip knot
Chains
Yarn Over (yo)
Double crochet (DC) - insert hook into stitch/chain, yarn over, pull through stitch/chain, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
2 triple crochet together (2tr tog) i.e yarn over, insert into chain/stitch/space as indicated, yarn over, pull through chain/stitch/space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook, yarn over, insert into same chain/stitch/space, yarn over, pull through, yarn over and pull though all loops on hook.
3 triple crochet together (3tr tog) i.e yarn over, insert hook into chain space, yarn over, pull through space, yarn over, pull through 2 loops on hook, repeat 2 more times, pulling through all loops on hook on the final pull through instead of just the 2 (makes more sense when you do it).
Instructions
Make a slip knot and chain approximately 70-75 chains to measure 17" (or aslong as you wish) depending on your gauge.
Insert hook into 2nd chain from hook to make your first DC and double crochet all the way along the chains. Turn, chain 1, DC along double crochet stitches made in previous row to make a second row of double crochet.
Turn, chain 3, yo, insert into next 3rd chain from hook, yo, pull through chain, yo, pull though 2 loops on hook, yo, insert into same chain, yo, pull through chain, yo, pull through all loops on hook - this is your first 2 triple crochet together. Chain one, skip 1 DC stitch from previous row, (3tr tog into the next stitch, chain 1) repeat till end of row.
*Turn, chain 3, 2tr tog into 3rd chain from hook, (chain 1, 3tr tog into next chain space created from the previous row i.e when you chained 1 ) till end of row.*
* to * till armchair arm cover is nearly at desired size. Finish by DC 2 rows. Sew in the ends.
