Covered Coat Hangers – Knitting Pattern A delightful little project — these knitted coat-hanger covers turn plain hangers into soft, colourful, handmade treasures. They make a fabu lous handmade gift, are perfect for stash-busting leftover yarn, and add a cosy, handcrafted touch to any wardrobe. The pattern includes five different stitch variants so you can play with texture and make each hanger unique. What the Pattern Gives You Instructions to knit covers that neatly slide over standard padded or wooden hangers — helping preserve clothes, avoid shoulder dents, and make wardrobes look lovely. Five stitch-pattern options (e.g. stripes, textured stitches, simple stocking or garter stitch) for variety and creativity. Recommendations for yarn — DK-weight or similar yarn is ideal (leftovers are perfect!). Suggested Yarn & Materials Yarn: DK weight yarn — leftovers ideal for this small accessory. People often use approx. 2 × 20 g balls per hanger cover (depending on thickness, size, and stitch choice). Needles: Suggested needle size around 4.00 mm — enough to give a stretchy but neat cover. Extras: One standard hanger (padded or wooden), tapestry needle for seaming, optional ribbon for decoration. Project Details Skill Level: Easy — great for beginners or quick stash-buster projects. Why It’s Great: Fast, satisfying, and practical. A set of 3 makes a lovely handmade gift, or you can make individual ones to coordinate with special garments. Bonus: Helps protect your knits and garments from hanger-shoulder dents; knitted covers add a handmade charm to wardrobes. Show more
