Rose Bud Arm Chair Cover - In Filet

2007-03-11T22:21:00.000-05:00

ROSE BUD ARM CHAIR COVER - Filet

This Filet Crochet pattern is my original design for my “Rose Bud Arm Chair Cover”. When making this item with size #10 thread and a #7 hook, it should measure 5.1 inches Wide X 13.5 inches Tall when finished.

If you need a longer and wider arm cover, simply make single crochets or double crochet stitches around, with 3 stitches in each corner, to make it whatever size you wish.

Using my chart above and starting at the bottom right of chart, chain 67. Chain an additional 3 to turn which will count as the first double crochet of the first row. Double crochet in the 5th chain from the hook. Double crochet in the next 2 chains to complete the bottom right solid square of the pattern. Continue following the pattern for the first row reading from right to left.

After completing first row, chain 3 to turn to start next row. Continue following the pattern until all rows are completed. At the end of row 54, fasten off. You may add a tassle and block, if desired

Where I've been

2006-10-03T05:03:00.000-05:00

Where have I been??
Well everyone, I went on insulin June 22nd, found out I have kidney disease right after that. Then from Aug 1st thru Aug 10th I was in the hospital (4 days in intensive care) with pneumonia. I've had ups and downs since then. Not a fun summer, 2006!

I just wanted everyone to know that I had not dropped off the face of the earth, just felt like it. I'll be posting patterns, soon.

Crochet hugz,
Joyce
