Crochet Plastic Hanger Covers



This is a great use for left over yarn. It also will keep clothes from slipping off the hanger, as well as protect against the puffy shoulder problem (hanger end point fabric stretching).


Hook : Clover size 7 (4.5 mm)


 
Yarn: Size 4 worsted weight (Caron - Simply Soft - Paints), 37 yards each half (2 balls this size if crocheted tightly)


 
Cover Walmart plastic hanger gap with 1” wide black Gorilla tape (cut 2 ½” piece). The hanger is 16 ¼” wide.


Shell stitch = 2dc, ch1, 2dc


Directions (Make 2):

Rd 1: Ch5 make ring (pull hole closed), ch3, dc, ch1, (2dc, ch1) x3, slip stitch to top of beginning ch3.

Rd 2: Slip stitch twice to ch sp. Make 1 shell in each ch sp. (4)

Rd 3: Slip stitch twice to ch sp. Make 1 shell in each ch sp. (4) Add ch1 between 2 opposite shells (this is increase). Mark the increase chain. (The shells without chains between is the hanger fold line.)

Rd 4: Slip stitch twice to ch sp. Make 1 shell in each ch sp. (4) Add ch2 between 2 opposite shells.

Rd 5-13: Repeat round 4 adding one more chain increase to each row. Knot, leave tail.



Assembly:
Slip each half on hanger with one tail on top and one on bottom. Tie together.
