If you already have the practice of crocheting and are familiar with the main loops, you can try to make a cloak on the seat of the stool . To make a bright dressing gown, follow the instructions below:
- Choose multicolored yarns of the same thickness. This is to ensure that the width of the fabric is the same.
- Tie many multicolored strips (in our case it's 22 strips).
- Connect the strips together, tying the loops in rows. As a result, you should get two squares consisting of 11 lines.

How to sew a cloak in a chair?
If you want to make a cover completely covering the seat, legs and back of the chair, then you can not do with one knitting. Here you need a full-fledged pattern and a large cut of fabric, which is enough to make a long cloak on the chair.
To sew a simple laconic cover on a stool with a round seat you will need the following pattern.
The figures on it are the following departments: backrest (1), seat (2), skirt (3), ties (4) and back (5). If everything is correctly done, then you will get an original elegant cape, which you can decorate the chair in the dining room or in the kitchen.
You can also make a cover solely on the back of the chair. To do this, you will need two cuts of contrasting colors (in this case, red and white felt). It is desirable to decorate the ends of the covers with pompons made of white felt, consisting of their long 40 stripes measuring 10x1 cm. Such "caps" perfectly complement the New Year's interior of the apartment and create in it a unique mood of the approaching holiday.
As you can see, you do not need to apply special skills to sew a cloak to a chair. It's enough just to get the right material and spend a few hours of free time.
