Rug and Stool Cover Knitting Pattern in Sirdar Gorgeous – Pattern 7965

This downloadable PDF knitting pattern from Sirdar includes four distinct super chunky home accessory designs: a Round Foot Stool Cover, a Rectangular Foot Stool Cover, a Drop Stitch Rug, and a Garter Stitch Fringed Rug. All four projects are worked in Sirdar Gorgeous, a luxuriously thick super chunky yarn, making them fast and satisfying knits that are well suited to intermediate knitters looking to add handmade texture and warmth to their home interiors.

Yarn and Materials

Every design in this pattern uses Sirdar Gorgeous (F222), a super chunky weight yarn sold in 150g hanks. Each project uses a different shade, giving the collection a coordinated yet varied look:

• Round Foot Stool Cover: Shade 601 – requires 5 x 150g hanks
• Rectangular Foot Stool Cover: Shade 604 – requires 3 x 150g hanks
• Drop Stitch Rug: Shade 600 – requires 2 x 150g hanks
• Garter Stitch Fringed Rug: Shade 603 – requires 2 x 150g hanks

All four projects are knitted using a single pair of 20mm (USA size 36) knitting needles. The Rectangular Foot Stool Cover also requires 2 metres of 2cm wide elastic to secure the cover neatly around the stool.

Round Foot Stool Cover

The Round Foot Stool Cover is designed to fit a circular footstool with a circumference of approximately 160 cm (63 inches) and a depth of approximately 72 cm (28¼ inches), measured around the curve. This generous sizing makes it suitable for a standard round pouffe or ottoman. The cover is worked in Sirdar Gorgeous shade 601 using five hanks of yarn, making it the most yarn-intensive project in the collection. The super chunky construction means the fabric knits up quickly despite the large dimensions, and the resulting fabric is thick, plush, and highly tactile.

Rectangular Foot Stool Cover

The Rectangular Foot Stool Cover measures approximately 38 x 48 cm (15 x 19 inches) and is worked in Sirdar Gorgeous shade 604. This design is intended to sit over a rectangular footstool or small ottoman, with the elastic threaded through or around the edges to hold the cover securely in place. The inclusion of elastic as a finishing detail is a practical and neat solution that keeps the cover taut and well-fitted without the need for buttons or ties. Three hanks of Sirdar Gorgeous are required for this project.

Drop Stitch Rug

The Drop Stitch Rug measures approximately 86 x 42 cm (34 x 16½ inches) and is knitted in Sirdar Gorgeous shade 600. The drop stitch technique is a deliberately decorative method in which stitches are intentionally dropped from the needle and allowed to unravel downward through several rows, creating elongated, open columns of yarn that give the fabric a loose, airy, and visually striking texture. This technique is particularly effective in a super chunky yarn like Sirdar Gorgeous, where the dropped ladders become bold and dramatic design features. Only two hanks are needed, making this one of the more economical projects in the set.

Garter Stitch Fringed Rug

The Garter Stitch Fringed Rug measures approximately 62 x 40 cm (24½ x 15¾ inches) and is worked in Sirdar Gorgeous shade 603. Garter stitch is one of the most fundamental knitting stitches, created by knitting every row, which produces a reversible, ridged fabric with excellent stretch and body. In a super chunky yarn, garter stitch creates a beautifully dense and cushioned
