Pesky doors that don't seal well and let the heat or A/C out? Or does your loving pet want to get into a closet they shouldn't? Try making a draft stopper to keep things in that you want! This pattern is worked in the round and will make a stopper that is aprox 27 inches in length. I use Caron "Simply Soft" worsted weight yarn for all of my projects unless I need a specialty one.
You'll need
R2: Work 2 sc in each st, 6 times. (12sts) R3: Work 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next st, 6 times. (18sts) R4: Work 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 2 sts, 6 times. (24sts) R5: Work 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 3 sts, 6 times. (30sts) R6: Work 2 sc in the next st, sc in the next 4 sts, 6 times. (36sts) R7-105: Work 36 scs around or until project is aprox 27 inches or desired length. Remember to stuff the project as you go to make sure you'll reach the desired length. One good idea as well is to use old pantyhose as a liner to keep the stuffing from trying to come out of the holes. Tie knots in one end of the liner to start, stuff the project and tie the final knot when you're finished. (36 sts) R106: Sc2tog , sc in the next 4 sts, 6 times. (30sts) R107: Sc2tog , sc in the next 3 sts, 6 times. (24sts) R108: Sc2tog , sc in the next 2 sts, 6 times. (18sts) R109: Sc2tog , sc in the next 1 sts, 6 times. (12sts) R110: Sc2tog, 6 times. (6sts) R111: Fasten off the piece by sl st in the next st to tie things down. I also like to stitch the end securely closed with a large blunt end needle. That's all there is to it! Its one of the easiest projects I've ever done, and if you're wondering I made mine to keep one of our pets out of the craft closet! |
