Never hook a stool cover without having the actual stool you intend to use in your hands.
IKEA Stools, Nils and Sakarias
Classic Square Stool aka Upholstered Stool
This course includes instructions on how to build your own, but be warned, unless you are making several it will cost you more to build than it will to purchase the stool. The problem is with the foam. You often have to buy more than you need to get it padded up.
Honey Bee Hive sells the complete stool, including the feet (one of the more expensive parts of the stool.
Your OWN Stool
Some footstools pose a problem with adding a hooked cover. If you are wondering if your stool will work, you can ask your question on the Online Courses General Dashboard or during Office Hours if you are a member of The Rug Hooking Journey.
