My friend had a chair for 20 years and it just broke. I have no talent to macrame him a new one. Can any body out there make one for me with DAVE written on it in red/whire/blue material? It was just done with what looked like an aluminum chair frame. PLEASE respond so the untalented can do something very special for a dear friend!!!

I had a book back in the 80′s with several patterns for these chairs. I made a few but have since lost the books. I was searching for some when I came across this site. The patterns were woven using a large crochet hook and macrame cord. Hopefully I’ll find somewhere to purchase some books or patterns.

I have a friend who used to make those chairs. They were macrame. She made a pair for me and wove our last name into them. I still have them, but one of the frames is broken. The macrame is still intact, thought.

Actually, Annika, thanks to your link, I found the pattern for the squirrel and fawn chairs I have.

I am learning to macrame now. For serious.

Here in Chicago, we see these at tailgates with Bears or White Sox designs in team colors. Very enjoyable!

I would Mary but my grandpa is seriously the cutest little old dude that ever was so I couldn’t bear to steal his chair.

I think life would be complete if I had one of those with a squirrel…

This store has macrame patterns for lawn chairs:

BTW- I think the patterns on your chairs are actually “Moose and Squirrel” from the 60′s Rocky and Bullwinkle animation show.

Can I just say that our readers are the best?! Thanks for all of the helpful information! Now I need to macrame myself some more. Macrame. I like that word a lot.

My grandparents had several pairs of these chairs that they had macrame’d (sp?) Wish I had them now!
