Care

To care for your crochet bean bag, spot clean with a damp cloth as needed. If it becomes heavily soiled, hand wash with mild detergent and lay flat to dry.

Crochet Bean Bag Chair Pattern

A crochet bean bag chair is a great extra seat for your home and is easily portable. It is also a fun project for beginners to crocheting. You can create your own crochet bean bag chair by using the single crochet stitch. This project requires knowledge of the chain stitch, slip stitch, and single crochet stitch. You will also need to know how to increase and decrease stitches.

Materials

• 6 skeins of worsted weight yarn
• Yarn needle
• Crochet hook
• Stitch markers or safety pins
• Filling – bean bag fillers or extra blankets, pellets or beans, fiberfill or foam

Instructions

• Place a loop on your crochet hook and then chain four.
• Chain stitch by putting the yarn over the hook and then using the hook to draw the yarn through the loop on the hook.
• Slip stitch into the first chain.
• Slip stitch by placing the hook through the stitch, and then putting the yarn over the hook. Draw the yarn through the stitch and the loop on the hook.
• Chain one to start the first round of crochet.
• Single crochet a total of 15 into the circle created by the slip stitch.
• Join with a slip stitch into the chain one. Place a stitch marker into the chain stitch and move the stitch with each round. You should have a total of 16 stitches counting the beginning chain one.
• Chain one and place two single crochet into each single crochet from the previous round. Slip stitch with chain one stitch.
• The next round you will place two single crochet into one stitch and then one single crochet into the next one. You will repeat this until you have reached the chain one stitch. Each round you are adding 16 stitches.
• With each additional round, you will add one to the number between the increased single crochet stitches.
• Continue with rounds and increases until you reach the desired size of your bean bag chair.
• Now each round will be even with no increases. You will place one single crochet into each single crochet. Continue to work in the round until your work measures 16 inches in height.
• Begin to decrease the number of stitches each round. You will need to decrease by 16 stitches each round. Count your stitches and divide by 16 to work out how many single crochets to put between the decrease single crochet stitches.
• To decrease, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through the stitch, but don't pull through the loop on the hook. Instead, insert the hook into the next stitch, yarn over, and pull through all of the loops on the hook.
• Stuff the bean bag after a few decreasing rounds. Once stuffed, continue to decrease each round until you are left with a small opening.
• Sew the hole together.

Tips

• Using a single crochet for large projects can be time-consuming. You may be tempted to use a half double or double crochet stitch, but keep with the single crochet to ensure the tight stitch keeps the stuffing inside the chair.
• You can also use multi-color yarn to create a unique crochet bean bag chair.
