​Crochet Mandala Type Stool Cover

I love white color in decor, so decided to make such a stool cover.

You’ll need:

100% aran weight wool (the type of wool isn’t important for this pattern);

Crochet hook 5 mm.

Size: approx. 30 cm diameter.

Instructions

ch6, slip stitch to make ring

Round 1: ch3, 15 dc into ring, join with sl st.

Round 2: Ch5, 1 dc into dc from the previous round, ch 2, 1 dc into next dc, continue around (for a total of 15 ch2 spaces, including that from first ch5) and join with sl st to third chain or first ch5.

Round 3: 1 sc into first ch2 space, ch10, 1 trc into same space. 1 trc into next ch2 space, ch5, 1 trc into same space. Continue around such that in each ch2 space there is a set of trc,ch5,trc.

Round 4: 1sc into first ch5 space, ch5, trc into same space, ch5, 2 trc into same space. 2trc into next space, ch5, 2trc. Continue around into each ch5 space, and join with slip stitch to 5th chain of initial ch5.

Round 5: (the petals of the flower) Into every ch5 space: 1sc, 1hdc, 1dc, 5trc, 1dc, 1hdc,1sc. Join with sl st to first sc.

Round 6: sl st up to middle of petal (the 3rd trc) and sc. ch 5 (or how ever many chains it takes to comfortably reach the center of the next petal)and sc into center trc of next petal. Continue around and join with a sl st.

Note: Number of rounds at this point will depend on size and depth of stool. You may need additional rounds to cover diamter of stool, or not. If the next row will not be for the side of the stool, sc into both loops, and begin sc rows in back loop when the portion being crocheted will cover the side of the stool.

For side: Round 7-11: sc around into back loop only and join with a sl. st.

Round 12: (This round falls on the underside of my stool) dc around

Round 13: sc around, or if you prefer a more solid finish, sl st. around. Tie off yarn.

Make a tie by using a ribbon or chain stitching a length from the same yarn. Thread ribbon or chain through the dc row. Fit cover on stool, turn stool upside down, pull ribbon tight and tie with a bow, for easy removal.
