Crochet Coat Hangers

RE: Crochet Coat Hangers Post By Susie (Guest Post) (12/05/2008) You can purchase straight wood hangers from my webstore Berryhill Heirlooms, from one to as many as you want. They are quality wood hangers with a shiny metal hook. These can be cut down to a child or infant size just by sawing off the end.

Report Spam or Abuse RE: Crochet Coat Hangers Post By Carlyn (Guest Post) (10/30/2006) I use a basic afghan stitch, and it makes a beautiful and very satisfactory hanger cover. Use worsted weight yarn and a size G crochet hook. Chain 10. Starting with 2nd chain from hook, yarn over and pull through. Continue down the chain. You will have 10 loops on your hook. (Yarn over and draw through one loop, yarn over and draw through two loops) until you are back to one loop on your hook. Repeat this pattern until you have a strip long enough for your hanger (I like to stretch it slightly, so the crochet work will be snug). For your last row, do the first half of the row; with 10 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through all 10 loops. This creates a closed end. Then, with the bumpy side out, single-crochet the sides of the strip together. If your hanger has an unscrewing hook, you can complete the single-crocheting leaving just the other end open; if your hook doesn't unscrew you'll have to slip the crocheting over the hanger when you're about a quarter of the way done. Continue single crocheting around the second end, finish off and pull yarn ends to the inside.

Crochet a chain that will reach around the hanger. Remember crochet will stretch some. Turn and single crochet back and forth until you have a long narrow strip as long as the wooden part. Insert the hook of the hanger thru a stitch at the center and whip stitch the edges together at the ends and bottom. For more padding you can wrap the hanger with strips of batting or fleece before putting the crochet on. You can add a scalloped edge along the bottom either before or after putting it on the hanger. The hook can be wrapped with yarn or matching ribbon. You can also cover the padded hanger with fabric. Report Spam or Abuse crocheted hangers Post by Cindy S.

If, after they have been folded and stored in a drawer or on s shelf and have a few extra creases in them, just hang the item in the bathroom when you shower; the creases will drop out with the steam in the room.

I'm going to try and use hot wax and see if they will stay with that. Still looking for a crochet idea for coat hangers though!
