fresh chair socks

chair socks

I finally switched my chair socks! The Christmas ones stayed around much longer than I had planned, it's nice to finally not have red & green on my chairs. I started these before Easter and they sat waiting in a bag until just last week. I still have two chairs that need sets, so I think I'll do them in more summery colors, these are more spring but I don't think I'll bore of them during the summer.

I used Bernat Handicrafter cotton in hot green, banana yellow, soft violet and robin's egg. The pattern is the same one I used for my Christmas chair socks here.

My pattern was recently added to AllFreeCrochet.com, which is why I decided to finally stick these ones on the chairs! I'm getting a lot of new traffic through that and a few new questions about them.

One question I got was about them falling off, I haven't had any trouble with mine sliding off because I made them to fit snug. If your chair legs are skinnier, you might need to crochet tighter or skip round 3 altogether.

I also added the pattern to ravelry, you can find it here. If you make any, be sure to add them!

  8. I love making functional things cute. We have those sticky things on the bottom of our chairs that always fall off (and then the sticky part gets coated in dog hairs.)
    Bravo, Casey! These are adorable!

  9. Dang, this is the best idea I've seen in a long time. My floors are so beat up, it might be too late, but these little socks are too cute not to try. :)

  10. I queued this pattern on Ravelry a few days ago, then I found your blog today and was so pleased that you're the designer of these socks! It's a small crochet world! Hi!

  11. So cute! I'm wondering if this would be an easy thing to start out with when learning how to crochet?
    I have chair socks now (they were a gift) but they are shorter and tend to fall off all the time.
