Rosenweeds Footstool Rug Hooking Pattern

Product Description

This pattern will NOT fit the IKEA Stool.

Finished size of footstool is 16″ x 16″ x 15″ which includes feet that are 6″ high. This is the pattern only for a footstool.

This footstool was named when I was asked what the “stuff” in the border was. They are imaginary foliage, maybe weeds, rose and weeds. Hook the “leaves” in green or use colors! The circles could be lollipop flowers done in lopsided circles or proddy around the border for a flower with 3D petals. The outer border could be hooked solid or hit and miss to better disguise the seams when you put it together.

There is a complete cutting diagram for the wood and the foam. I also have instructions on how to finish your hooking so you can complete your rug hooked footstool.

Hooked Examples

Came out pretty darned good if I do say so myself. Suz, I agree. Paint on the legs is by Old Village. Paint color is New England Red.
