my first project - desk chair arm covers (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

i just learned how to crochet and made these lil guys because the plastic/vinyl/whatever stuff on them was cracking and falling off. they're held taut by a drawstring which i just noticed is perfectly hidden by the angle of this picture, but i just used some extra yarn and tied it like shoelaces.

really simple and easy as a first project! i'm not sure if it is visible in the picture but i made the blue one second and i think it came out much better.

i got the idea from this video and used it as a general reference.

Neat, I really like the gray one. Are they comfortable to rest your arms on? As in, does the texture not bother you?

i like them and the texture doesn't bother me at all. i made them using some leftover yarn i had sitting, if i were to do a little more planning i might pick a different yarn since these are pretty fuzzy lol.

honestly i would probably prefer to not use any arm covers and stick with the original material on the chair, but it is far more comfortable than this:
