Materials Needed

1 skein (400g) of Barroco Maxcolor 6 (color 7259) or any #6 cotton/acrylic yarn (approx. 452m)
4mm crochet hook
Tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Scissors
(Optional) Fabric or hot glue for securing ends

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Measure & Foundation

Measure the top of your chair for a perfect fit.
Chain enough stitches to match your chair’s width (example: 40 cm = 66 chains).
Join chains to work in the round, ensuring not to twist.

2. Fantasy Stitch Foundation Row

Skip 3 chains (these count as your first double crochet), DC in the 4th chain from the hook and in next 3 chains (4 DC in total).
Skip 1 chain, DC in next 4 chains. Repeat from * to end.
Do not increase at the corners to maintain a snug tubular shape.

3. Forming the Tube

After finishing the row, make 1 chain to turn and continue working 4 DC in each group, separated by one skipped chain (repeat as established).
At the end of each row, close with a slip stitch. Work 3 slip stitches to move your hook to the next chain space if needed.

4. Alternating Rows

For the next round, chain 2 (for the first sc), then chain 4, and sc into the next chain space.
Continue: ch 4, sc in next space. Repeat around.
At the end of the round, join with a slip stitch into the second chain of starting ch.
Repeat Rows: Alternate between rounds of 4 DC groups and rounds of chain-4 loops (with single crochets in between).
Continue until your cover reaches desired length (example: ~48 cm).

5. Finishing Edge

After reaching the desired length, work a decorative border:
- For the crossed stitch edge:
  - Chain 3, work a DC in the next stitch, then go back to work a DC in the skipped stitch (crossed DC). Repeat for each group of two DC with 1 chain in between each group.
  - Continue all around, join with a slip stitch.
- Continue with a row of chain spaces: ch 4, sc in next space. Repeat. Join with a slip stitch.

6. Decorative "Little Beak" (Picot) Edge

In a chain space: 3 DC, chain 3, sl st in top of last DC (forming a picot), 1 DC in same space, sc in next sc. Repeat around.

7. Secure & Weave Ends

Cut yarn, use a tapestry needle to weave and conceal ends carefully between stitches. For extra security, make a tiny knot and place a drop of glue if working with slippery yarn.

Pro Tip
