I found this one:
Crochet Covered coat hangers

Why not crochet some covers for all those plastic hangers you have in your closet. They help protect your clothes and stop them from slipping off onto the floor. Follow the pattern and make 2 pieces. Slip each piece onto the end of the coat hanger, pull together, and overcast stitch on both sides of the hanger. Do this for the top and the bottom to get a snug fit.

Materials needed:

• 4 ply worsted weight yarn
• 3.5 or 3.75 mm. crochet hook
• standard hanger
• tapestry needle and scissors

Steps:

• Chain (ch) 5, slip stitch (sl st) in first chain (ch) to form a ring.
  
• Round 1 - Chain 3, (counts as first double crochet (dc) here and throughout), double crochet (dc) in ring, ch, (work 2 dc in ring, ch,) 3 times, join with slip stitch in top of beginning ch 3. You now have 8 dc and 4 ch spaces
  
• Round 2 - sl st to ch space, ch 3, work 1 dc, ch 1, 2 dcs in same ch-sp. Shell (sh) is made *work sh in next ch-sp, repeat from * around, join with sl st in top of beginning ch-3, you should have 4 shells (sh)
  Notes: special stitch shell (SH) work 2 dcs, ch 1, 2 dc in space (sp) indicated
  Some hangers may need adjustment from 11 sts. (some a couple more, some a couple less)
