Instructions
These chair seat covers will fit most standard round seats. The finished size will be approximately 14 inches in diameter.
Step 1: Cast On
Using the blue cotton yarn and size 8 needles, cast on 60 stitches.
Step 2: Knit the First Row
Join in the round, being careful not to twist your stitches. Knit every stitch (this is the RS).
Step 3: Continue Knitting
For the next 20 rounds, continue knitting every row to create a nice thick fabric for the seat cover. Keep your tension even throughout to ensure a uniform look.
Step 4: Decrease for the Edge
After 20 rounds, it's time to start decreasing. Change to Round 1:

Step 5: Finishing
Cut the yarn, leaving a 12-inch tail. Thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the hole. Weave in any loose ends with the tapestry needle.
Step 6: Repeat
Repeat all steps to make a second chair cover.
Your cozy chair seat covers are now complete! Place them on your chairs and enjoy the added comfort and warmth they bring to your space.
