Of all the items that I have crocheted over the years, there is nothing quite like a crocheted stool cover to add a fun touch of handmade to your home decor, without spending days or months! This crocheted mandala stool cover started as something else altogether, but I'm so happy that it ended up on one of my stools, as I just love looking at it!
I am working on writing up the pattern, but in the mean time, figuring out one that fits your stool is really quite simple. Take any doily or mandala pattern and simply add rows until you have reached the correct size. Then continue as you would with the sides of a basket to cover the thickness of the stool. I often crochet enough to go under the stool a bit as well and thread a string through the edge, which I pull tight and tie with a bow to secure the cover.
