crochet love {granny square table or stool cover}



We have this little table next to our couches in the living room.
I have been itching to buy a cool new white end table to replace it.
Unfortunately, our budget doesn't include money for a  "cool new white end table,"
so I decided to just fancy this one up a bit.


I've seen some really fun crochet stool covers around the web,
like this one, and this one.
They definitely inspired me to create one of my own.


I did not follow a pattern because it wasn't very difficult to figure out on my own.
You simply start a granny square and just keep adding rows until it is big enough to cover your table/stool.
The next thing you do is make an edge so the cover wraps around the sides of the table.

With a normal granny square, you chain 1 between each double crochet cluster along the sides, 
and chain 2 between each cluster in the corners. 
To make my side edging, however, I took out all chains 
and simply worked a double crochet cluster in each space around with no chains in between. 


Now we have a fun little table cover to go with our eclectic style,
and I love it!
