How many times have we seen pictures of crocheted bed covers and wanted to have one? Surely it happened to you, today we invite you to know that we can not only use it to decorate our bed and highlight a blanket, quilt or sheet, but it will also serve to add shelter to this part of the body where we usually feel colder, of course we mean at the feet! So we propose this article to delve into this space of weaving and creations. Here we go!

KNIT BLANKETS FOR THE FOOT OF THE BED If you have time and want to start a new project that will dress your bed in any season of the year without a doubt, knit a crochet foot cover. Blankets or foot covers are lovely options to crochet, regardless of your skill level. A beginner, for example, can achieve a rug worthy of being displayed on any bed, while an experienced knitter can play around and try different challenging patterns to test themselves.

MATERIALS Yarn of choice and according to the season of the year that the foot cover is going to be used. Crochet needle for the thickness of the yarn chosen. Commonly, a 4 to 6 mm needle is used. Centimeter Scissors point marker POINTS USED high point Chain stitch raised dots

MAKING A CROCHET BED FOOT COVER Start with a number of chains that are multiples of 8 + 3. 1st round: 2 chains, 1 double crochet in the 4th chain, skip 3 stitches, and in the next stitch make 3 double crochets, 1 chain, 3 double crochets, skip 3 stitches and in the next knit 1 double crochet, *skip 3 stitches and in the next one make 3 double crochets, 1 chain, 3 double crochets; skip 3 stitches and make 1 double crochet in the next stitch * and repeat * until you reach the penultimate stitch. Knit 1 double crochet in the last stitch.

2nd row: chain 2, *1 back relief treble crochet in the next treble crochet, 3 treble crochets, 1 chain, 3 treble crochets in the 1 chain space of the next group of 3 treble crochets, 1 chain, 3 treble crochets from the previous lap; repeat * until the penultimate stitch and work 1 double crochet in relief at the back and 1 double crochet in the last stitch. 3rd row: chain 2, *1 front relief double crochet in the next double crochet, 3 double crochets, 1 chain, 3 double crochets in the space of 1 chain of the next group of 3 double crochets, 1 chain, 3 double crochets from the previous lap; repeat * until the penultimate stitch and work 1 double crochet in relief on the front and 1 double crochet in the last stitch. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until the desired length of your crochet bed cover is achieved.

Another option when starting our bed cover project is the Zigzag stitch. It is an asymmetric and original pattern, which provides a beautiful finish to this type of clothing and accessories. This point can be knitted with a single color, although the option of combining several colors is very attractive, since it enhances the particularity of the pattern and expands the option of combining it with bedding.

If we talk about crochet fabrics and, particularly, bed covers, we cannot forget the classic granny. This pattern is more than well known among crocheters and surely we have seen some grandmother weave nice and colorful little squares. There is a wide variety of models of grannys to choose from, with different finishes, joints, combination of colors or unicolor and interspersed with points. It will be a matter of choosing the one that we like the most or the one that is most comfortable for us to knit and risk.

So far, we have shown you different alternatives to weave these blankets. However, you can find a wide variety of stitches and patterns to choose from. Once again, we hope you liked this proposal.
