100 Days to A Cheapskates Style Christmas Day 13 Pretty Knitted Coat hanger covers
You will need:
A small amount of woollen yarn (I used 8 ply scraps)
4mm knitting needles.
Wooden or plastic coat hangers
Wadding
Darning needle
Cast on 20 stitches.
Knit until the fabric measures 30cm (or long enough to cover your coat hanger).
Cast off.
To cover the hanger, pad it with wadding or strips of old (clean please) t-shirting or other fabric. Fold the cover in half to find the centre. Slip the hook through the centre of the cover. Turn so the seam will be underneath the hanger. Using ladder stitch and matching yarn, sew the cover seams together.
To cover the hook cut a length of wool, threaded it onto a darning needle and worked a row of blanket stitch around the hook, pushing it down tightly to make sure the hook was completely covered.
