Flower chair pads

These delightful crocheted chair pads from Pierrot Yarns are just the thing to brighten up a dining room, covered outdoor patio or conservatory.

The pattern is available for free over at Ravelry, though you do need to know how to read a crochet stitch chart.

The Craft Yarn Council outlines crochet chart symbols and what they mean. Click here to have a look.

Crochet for Dummies also has instructions on how to read a stitch chart.

Once you know what the symbols stand for, stitch charts are not as confusing as they look.
