I have some yarn covered hangers that my grandmother made me. I really like them, especially for my dresses. But some were finally falling apart and I needed more anyway. Where could I go to find more? Since I didn't think of them when my grandmother was alive to teach me, I turned to the internet and found out how to make them. Here is my first one.
You basically take two hangers and cover them with yarn in a series of slip knots.
But they didn't look quite like Grandmother's. I looked closer at hers and found out that she put 4 knots of one color before going to 4 knots of the second color. 
By using this pattern and scrunching the yarn up close, it makes the hanger look like it is covered with little colored triangles.
So now I have yet another thing to do with my hands while I'm watching a movie or waiting for baseball practice to be over. The children are quite fascinated by the whole process.

I had some hangers like that once, only mine were just ... from ... somewhere. No idea where. I never thought of anyone sitting and making them. They just were. :-)
Mine weren't covered at the hook, though, just the 'body' ... I like that green and blue!
