Hooked Chair Pads

These 30 cm seat pads are made mostly from recycled fleece from old blankets and scarfs.

Above,  the fleece had big polka dots that created a spotted pattern when the narrow strips were hooked. 

Below the background is made with a red plaid fleece, creating a mottled design.

The edges are whip stitched with yarn. I ran a length of cotton cord around the edge, turned the monk's cloth edge over the cord and whip-stitched it into place, leaving a nice border.

This hooked sampler was made using random wool strips left over from other projects. To use it as a small mat, I machine stitched the edges of the backing cloth and frayed the remainder to make a fringe.
