Handmade things help to create comfort and coziness in the house, they exude warmth. For example, knitted sofa cushions can not only emphasize the advantages of the interior, but also become functional and practical elements to use. Even a beginner needlewoman can choose for herself a beautiful pattern among a variety of options, the main thing is a little desire and perseverance.

The appearance of the product, its thickness, pattern density and ease of use depend on the chosen yarn. Craftswomen advise choosing yarn with acrylic and wool for pillows, so that the fabric turns out to be moderately soft and elastic. This will help to maintain the desired shape of the product during its use.

For decorative items, you can use fancy threads decorated with beads and beads. different size. The mercerized cotton in the composition will also add originality to the finished pillow. For openwork interior accessories, it is better to choose thin iris yarn, with which it is convenient to create light and weightless lace plots, neat motifs.

The size of the loops depends on the choice of knitting needles: the thicker the tool, the larger the knitting will turn out. But we must remember about the correspondence of the material and the knitting needles, because, for example, a thin thread is not suitable for a large tool. From thick yarn and large knitting needles you get a beautiful pattern, the work process will be fast.

You can knit covers on the finished pillow or create everything yourself. For the base, a filler is chosen that does not allow the product to deform. The ideal option would be a synthetic winterizer of medium hardness, you can take it in balls, then the pillow will look plump and stuffed, but at the same time it will turn out soft and comfortable.

It is not advised to use natural down fillers, because feathers will easily break out through the pillowcase and knitted fabric. As for color combinations and tint range, there are no restrictions. The main thing is that the chosen design fits the overall style of the room, combined with furniture and textiles.

Knitting methods can also be different. Experienced needlewomen create a long canvas that is twice the size of a standard pillow, then crochet its edges. This is a practical method, because the result is a symmetrical, even pattern. Beginning craftswomen can practice on small motifs or creating two elements that, after the completion of the process, will need to be sewn together.

simple pillows

You can knit a pillow with knitting needles for beginners using a simple technique. For this, garter stitch, front fabric, the technique of alternating purl and front loops are suitable. To decorate the surface, you can use decorative buttons, sew-on elements or applied embroidery motifs. The suture technique also goes well with a knitted surface.

It will be interesting to look at a pattern resembling a wicker basket. It is easy to perform, because it consists of two motives. For the pattern, a number of elements is dialed, a multiple of 10, and additionally a couple of loops for the edge:

Having knitted the eighth row, the pattern is duplicated from the very beginning.

If you look at the ornament from the front side, you can clearly see the “checkerboard” pattern. The pillow can decorate as classic style and modern design.

Dumka-"doughnut" from knitwear

Knitted sofa cushions with knitting needles can be not only practical, but also beautiful. It is not necessary to create a standard square object, you can experiment with the shape by tying the original round product. To work, you need spaghetti knitting yarn. You can replace it with lush woolen threads.

The process will require:

• Yarn of several shades, preferably from the same range.
• Circular knitting needles, scissors for cutting threads.

First, twenty loops are cast on, but you can add a few more if you want to create voluminous pillow. But the number must be even so that the canvas does not move. Also be sure to take into account a couple of edge loops.

The first row is performed by alternating front and back loops 1 x 1. Increases are made in the second line to expand the canvas. To do this, after each pair of loops, one crochet is made. Knit like this to the end of the row. As a result, thirty loops should remain on the knitting needles.

Knit the next row with double crochets through three loops, then return to the second row with frequent crochets. Knit the fabric in 20 rows, changing the shades of yarn depending on the color combinations. After that, close all loops.

Knit a second identical element, connect both finished ones with a sewing needle and thread, leaving a small hole for the filler, then sew together. It will turn out a beautiful sofa thought of an interesting shape. You can attach a few buttons or beads to the surface to make the product look more elegant.

Floor models

You can knit a round pillow in the form of a beautiful pouffe. This will require approximately 160 g of knitted yarn and knitting needles number 15. You also need to buy a filler and a thick fabric for a pillowcase. so that the synthetic winterizer does not break through the holes between the loops.

The basis of labor is the scarf technique, the execution scheme is simple. You need to work with a thread in several additions so that the process moves faster.

Knitted pillow cover with knitting needles is ready, now you need to assemble. Stretch the yarn folded in several rows through the arcs of the edges of the fabric, pull them as much as possible, securely fixing the rest of the thread.

Repeat the same action for the other side, but do not tighten too much so that you can insert the pillowcase and fill it with padding polyester. After that, sew the two rows of the base to hide the tightening points. A product made of knitted yarn will not only be beautiful, but also practical, elastic and quite durable for reusable use. In addition, the pouffe pillow is suitable for any type of interior.

Applications

Do-it-yourself pillows can complement the style, decorate the room, emphasize the design. But in most cases, they combine not only beauty and decorativeness, but also practicality. It is convenient to relax on such products, they can decorate a sofa or add brightness with contrasting colors in the design.

Recently, making pillows as gifts has become popular. Funny images, cartoon characters, knitted items, products in the form of female breast can cheer everyone up.

In the process of choosing a scheme and a future pattern, you need to decide on the functionality of the thing - how it will be used, whether it can be combined with the general style. Due to the many options for use, knitted pillows occupy a leading position among other needlework gizmos.

Features of care

Even if the yarn is strong and elastic, keeps its shape well, during use, the pillow can change its appearance, deform, and the loops will fill with dust. To avoid rapid wear of a knitted product, it is necessary to use high-quality care products for them.

The covers should be washed separately from other things so that different particles and threads from fabrics do not stick to the wool, choose a delicate mode with a water temperature of no more than 30 degrees. For washing, use a powder intended for woolen products.

It is best to wash by hand, without squeezing the yarn too hard, so that the pattern does not deform. If this is not possible, then the washing processes should be shortened several times so that the threads do not become loose and become covered with spools.

Dry the product in a horizontal position by laying it on a fabric folded several times. This will allow things to dry evenly without stretching. It is a mistake to dry the pillowcase with the filler. It is advisable to sew the parts together during the assembly process so that you can pull out the contents and wash all the parts separately.

It is impossible to use an iron for ironing and leveling a knitted product, as this will negatively affect the thickness of the yarn and lead to hardening of the threads. A variant using a steam iron is allowed, but at low power and without adding salt.

You do not need to starch pillows, they should be as soft and pleasant to the touch as possible. Otherwise, the thing will be used only as an element of the interior, no more. The use of handmade items allows you to decorate the house with juicy shades, as well as add bright colors to your daily routine.

Fashion is changing, the shape and design of furniture are changing, but regardless of the time today, as a hundred years or a couple of centuries ago, pillows delighted their owners and their guests.

Children and adults, sofas, rectangular, round, oval, in the form of a roller ... Probably, it is difficult to find something that creates a cozy atmosphere and sets you in a peaceful mood than decorative pillows. At the same time, it doesn’t even matter what they lie on, on a luxurious bed, sofa or on stools in the kitchen.

However, perhaps one can say with special warmth - it is knitted or crocheted pillows that differ in charm.

It can be a warm and fluffy version or a strict classic square made of dense cotton yarn. You can talk a lot about this, but the purpose of this article is not to praise such an interior item as a pillow. We want to tell you how you can completely independently add individuality, charm, as well as warmth and comfort to the interior of your house or apartment.

Let's start with the fact that you can knit it both with a crochet and with knitting needles. At the same time, for some reason, crocheted pillows are much more common. At the same time, using ordinary knitting needles, you can create no less beautiful and unique products. As they say, there would be a desire.

Here we allow ourselves to start with knitted pillows.

You will need yarn, knitting needles and a crochet hook.

Yarn

In order to knit a pillow, you can choose any yarn. It can be thick cotton, linen, wool mixture or modern threads with various "special effects". Which threads to give preference to depends only on what kind of pillow you want to knit: a simple one or decorate it with beautiful decor.

When choosing a yarn, the purpose of your product is also of great importance. If it plays a purely decorative role, then almost any yarn can be used. If you plan to actively use a self-tied pillow for its intended purpose (in a stroller for a child, under your back in a chair - it doesn’t matter), you should think about the strength and practicality of the threads from which you will tie it. The ideal option in this case would be cotton or linen - they are both durable and natural. If we are talking about a pouffe pillow that will lie on the floor, then it will be possible to tie it with synthetic threads from those that can be washed without problems and do not wear out.

Having rummaged through your “bins” and brought to light the yarn left over from other works, you can achieve two goals at once - a pillow with knitting needles is a beautiful and original accessory that you will receive, at the same time getting rid of many different-sized hanks with the remnants of threads.

spokes

You can choose any knitting needles, by yarn number. The main thing is that you feel comfortable working with them.

Hook

It will also be needed when you make out the seams on your pillow. It is also advisable to choose by yarn number.

The simplest pillow can be knitted by typing on the knitting needles required amount loops, and then knitting a simple rectangular fabric, the width of which is equal to the width of the future pillow, and the length is twice the length of the product, plus a small margin for seams. You can knit with any pattern you like. Even the usual stocking or garter stitch. If you knit a little more, you can make a valve with loops and additionally stylize your pillow with large buttons. It will turn out quickly, already quite simple and pretty.

Replace a simple pattern with embossed braids or diamonds, calculated to sit beautifully in the center of your pillow, or asymmetrically for a more original pillow.

Decorate the seams on the pillow with a crochet hook, and if you are not familiar with it, then with a regular buttonhole stitch, using a fluffy or just a thread of a contrasting color.

Pillow shapes

In addition to square or rectangular, you can knit a pillow-roller. At the same time, you can also knit it as a straight fabric, which is then sewn in an appropriate way and decorate the ends of the product in an original way. You can knit in the round using circular needles or a set of five double-edged knitting needles.

In the first case, the pattern you have chosen for the product will be located across. If you decide to knit a pillow in the round, the pattern will lie along such a pillow cushion. A plain pillow-roller will look something like this.

You can also knit it striped, with inserts of yarn of a different texture, or simply of melange yarn.

In this article, we show you what knitted pillows can be. Perhaps, it is rare that a product that can be made by one's own hands can boast such scope for the imagination of craftswomen.

However, even more opportunities open up if you call for help with a crochet hook. In addition to the design of the seams in cases where the pillow is made with knitting needles, a hook in skillful hands is capable of incredible things.

Thanks to the hook, the knitted pillow can be of almost any shape.

Any yarn can also be used. As an example, we will allow ourselves to tell you how to knit a pouffe pillow with your own hands.

You will need yarn and a matching hook.

Start knitting with a chain of 4 air loops, close it in a circle. Next, knit the rise from two or three air loops instead of the first column. If you want to get a denser pillow, knit it with single crochets. Double crochets will make a less dense option.

Then we knit in the round, knitting two columns in each loop of the previous row. When you get a circle of the desired diameter, continue to knit without adding more loops. This will give you the cushion edge. What height it will be - it's up to you.

Having knitted your ottoman to the desired height, we begin to decrease the columns - we knit them not in each loop, but through one. It could be a small sofa cushion round shape, or a rather high pouf, on which it is convenient to put tired legs during the day. And after completing two or three multi-colored pillows, you will get original accessories for the children's room, which, without any doubt, your kids will like.

As a filler in such do-it-yourself pillows, we can recommend foam rubber. You can use other, denser material at your discretion.

Here are such funny sofa cushions that can be knitted from the remnants of yarn. Information on how to knit such pillows with detailed descriptions work process, as well as many other ideas you can find on our website.

Good afternoon dear friends!

Imagine, for a whole year I had no publications about my favorite sofa cushions! It doesn't look like me at all. And there are a lot of ideas. Probably because I myself want to embody them, but my hands do not reach yet, so I did not write anything. Today I want to show you very beautiful crochet sofa cushions, photos of which I saw on the Internet. Well, I really liked them and not only me, judging by the reviews in the groups.

Since there were no patterns for them, I decided to make a small master class and a description of crocheting a pillow on a sofa.

Crochet sofa cushions with popcorn pattern

Crocheted sofa cushions are so cozy, and the patterns and ways of knitting them are very diverse: from intricate openwork to simple knitted squares. The main success is always in the choice of color.

In the presented models, a pattern with elements of "popcorn" is used. I already told you how to knit this in the description. But today I'm going to show it again.

I knitted one motif from the remnants of the yarn I have of medium thickness. A whole skein (50 grams / 70 m) is gone. And the size of the motif turned out to be 20 x 20 cm.

So for a pillow measuring 40 x 40 cm, 400 grams of wool blend yarn will be required and 4 motives will need to be knitted for one side.

To make another version of the pillow (out of 9 motives), the yarn will have to be taken thinner. Accordingly, if the length of the thread in the skein is longer, then the yarn consumption will be less.

How to crochet a sofa cushion with a popcorn pattern. Master Class

1. We close the chain of 6 VPs into a ring.

2. In the first row we knit 3 VP and 15 С1Н, introducing the hook into the ringlet. We connect the last loop with the first in the circle.

4. In the third row, we start knitting the popcorn pattern - the main crochet pillow pattern. To do this, we collect 3 VP, then we knit 3 С1Н under the air loop of the previous row.

We take out the hook from the last loop and insert it into the 3rd air loop dialed at the beginning of the row, grab the last loop from the 3rd double crochet and knit them together, pulling them together.

We get a small bump, or in another way it is also called "popcorn".

For the first bump in the row, we first cast on air loops to lift the row, all other bumps need to be knitted on 4 double crochets.

5. Before knitting the next such bump, I made an air loop. And in the next rows - 2 air loops between them. You yourself already regulate how it will work out better for you, so that the row is even, not tight.

6. We knit the fourth row in the same way with a “popcorn” pattern, introducing a hook under the air loops between the bumps of the previous row.

And in this row we are already starting to form the corners of the future square motif of our crocheted crocheted sofa cushion. To do this, after every fourth bump, I knitted 9 air loops. (Adjust this amount for your knitting).

7. In the fifth row, we tie the corners of the air loops with double crochets: 6 C1H, 3 VP, 6 C1H.

On each side of the square in this row, you will get three cones.

8. In the sixth row - two bumps on the sides, and in the corners 8 С1Н, 3 VP, 8 С1Н.

9. In the seventh row, it remains to tie one bump on each side, in the corners of 10 C1H, 3 VP, 10 C1H.

10. In the eighth row, knitting with single crochets around the entire perimeter of the square, in the corners we knit 3 VPs.

If necessary, before knitting the desired size, you can knit 1-2 more rows of these.

11. For the pink pillow option, you will need to knit 5 popcorn motifs and 4 simple square motifs with single crochets. You can see the diagram.

Connection of crocheted sofa cushion motifs

To connect the motifs, first it is better to iron their edges through a damp cloth or soak the motifs in warm water and lay them out on a towel, giving an even shape.

We fold the motifs in pairs facing inwards and connect them with half-columns (or connecting loops, as they are also called). With this method of connection, an even, inconspicuous seam will be obtained.

If you want to make a beautiful ribbed seam, as in the photo, connect the motifs on the front side with single crochets.

The reverse side of the sofa cushion can be crocheted from the same motifs or with a whole canvas with single crochets.

We decorate the edges with a border with arches, you can use the one I knitted for mine, or with a border with pompoms.

It remains to put this crochet pillowcase on a small sofa cushion and sew along the edge.

Did you like this pillow pattern? As soon as I buy the right yarn, I will definitely knit myself. Knitting sofa cushions crochet is such a pleasure and requires very little time. In the meantime, I have other works in the process, I will share when I finish.

Good mood to all!

We have other beautiful crocheted pillows:

Sincerely, Galina Shpak

If you are fond of knitting, then you probably were engaged not only in making clothes, but also tried to make various interior items from threads to decorate your home. This is very important, because the charming things for the home created by your own hands have wonderful good energy and create an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Regardless of the era or fashion, knitted pillows are of great importance, where the covers are hand-made with knitting needles. They can have a different purpose and shape, be square and rectangular, round and oval. In addition, knitted pillowcases are made in the original form of a roller or pouffe.

Original Lip Pillow

If you have thick yarn resembling plush in your arsenal of threads, you can knit an original pillow in the shape of lips.

To work, you will need three skeins of polyester yarn, and circular needles number eight. The size of the cover is sixty centimeters (cm) by forty, and the density of the fabric should be seven loops (P) and thirteen rows (R) in a square pattern of ten by ten cm. This original product looks like a plush toy in the shape of lips with a bow, and knits quite easily . Both halves must be knitted exactly the same, stocking stitch. At the same time, in order to achieve the desired shape of the canvas, it is necessary to periodically add and decrease loops. The product can be a great gift for friends and family if you link it to a suitable holiday, such as a birthday or new year.

Principles and techniques for making covers

Making knitted pillowcases for pillows with your own hands is different in that this needlework is quite easy to do. Here, only that scheme with a description is used that corresponds to the relief present on a particular pillow. Knitting pillows can be a great learning example for beginner craftswomen, especially if the shape of the pillow is a rectangle:

Before knitting, you need to measure the pillow of your choice in order to knit the corresponding cover with knitting needles. Then, as usual, it is necessary to tie a sample in order to determine the density of the canvas. In this case, the knitting of the sample must be done with the same knitting needles and relief that you have chosen for the main fabric. With the same knitting needles and such a pattern, then you need to knit the cover itself. The pillowcase should be at least a centimeter larger than the pillow, otherwise it will shrink inside the cover and lose its shape. We start knitting with a set of P, and continue to knit the shape we need with the selected pattern. If you do not have enough yarn, then knit the top half of the pillowcase, and cut out the bottom half from a fabric of a suitable shade. Having finished knitting, fold both halves of the pillow face inward, and sew them together, then turning them right side out. After that, you need to sew a zipper on the open area of ​​​​the cover:

If the selected relief allows, the product is knitted in one continuous strip. Having finished knitting, it is folded in half, right side inward, and then sewn on the sides:

Knitting various models of pillows

In this lesson we will look at knitting simple patterns of pillows with knitting needles. Even an inexperienced needlewoman can easily make such knitted pillows with her own hands. If women like modern style, suggesting minimalism indoors at home, then these models will appeal to you. For such pillows, you can choose the most primitive reliefs and patterns, and tie them with thick threads, which looks quite original. Pay attention to what stylish models are obtained with this combination:

The blue pillow is knitted in garter stitch and decorated with large buttons. For the gray model, a wicker relief is used, the diagram and description of which can be found here:

The next model is the pimple pattern you see on these cushions:

The only difficulty is to arrange all the cones evenly, at the same distance from each other. The following pillows are knitted in the same way, but in different shades of yarn. Here, on a garter stitch, a triangular figure connected with a Pearl pattern stands out. The decoration is a large bow made in garter stitch:

And now let's move on to more complex patterns with knitting needles. Specimens for which the relief "Spit" or "Arana" is selected look great. In this case, you can dream up and knit braids with the simplest displaced P, or aran, where the relief is more complex and intricate:

A variety of braided braids look great with patterns like the front surface, or other combinations of front and back P. The second group of models is made up exclusively of braids that are not diluted with other patterns:

Video: Cushion with braid pattern

Openwork pillow covers

For a beautiful pillow with openwork knitting needles, you just need to find a pattern to your liking, such as this one:

Often the lace in the pillow is present only on the top of the cover. The bottom looks good when knitted in stocking stitch. It is easy to decorate such a model if you sew matching beads or a thin satin ribbon to the pillowcase. The openwork relief looks very expressive if there is a pillowcase below contrasting shade. And here is a model with a heart openwork section, which is decorated with crocheted flowers and beads:

The next pillow with an openwork pattern is intended for wedding rings.

I contacted a small decorative pillow from the remnants of threads. This is my first experience in knitting with motifs. I used the Children's Novelty from Pekhorka and hook No. 2. It took about one and a half hanks of both colors. The size is 34*34 cm. The front side of the pillow is made of embossed motifs with a pattern of lush "heart" columns, the back side is made of simple square motifs.

For the front, I knitted 9 motifs, of which 5 are yellow, 4 are white, and for the back, on the contrary, 4 are yellow and 5 are white.

Thus, colored motifs were distributed throughout the pillow in a checkerboard pattern.

Lush column

Often there are such knitting patterns, where two or more columns are tied together. If they are knitted into one loop of the previous row, then this column is called magnificent. They do it this way: all the columns - a double crochet or a double crochet are knitted to half, that is, the last loop of each column remains on the hook - it is not tied. How many columns - so many loops remain on the hook, plus the main loop. Grab the thread and pull it through all the loops and knit another air loop.

So, we knit 5 motifs according to scheme No. 1 with a yellow heart, 4 white motifs, and we tie each motif with one row of RLS with a thread in the color of the motif. Now we will knit 5 white and 4 yellow squares according to scheme No. 2. To get a square of the same size as a motif with a heart, six rows and tying in a circle of RLS will be enough.

Now let's put the motives in the correct order:

and start connecting them. I decided to use a relief protruding seam for the front relief part of the pillow, making it white. That is, you just need to connect both motives with one row of RLS. To do this, we pick up the motives with the front side out and begin to connect them by inserting a hook under both walls of the loop:

You need to start from the first loop of the strapping of this edge, without affecting only the most corner loop of the strapping. When 2 motifs are connected, we leave 2 corner loops of the strapping not connected, we make an air loop

and "attach" the next 2 motives similarly to the first two. We do the same with all other motives of the front side of the pillow. Now the motifs are connected along, let's move on to connecting the remaining sides.

The connection takes place in the same way as before, only now at the intersection of the seams after the end of the connection of 2 motifs to the next 2 we do not make the VP, but simply stretch one loop that connects the motifs a little more than usual:

This is enough so that the corners of the four motifs are not pulled together and the intersection of the seams does not bulge.
When all the motifs are connected, you need to tie the RLS in a circle around the resulting canvas in order to align the edges, and the connection of the front and back canvases was convenient:

We connect the motifs of the back of the pillow, also with a white thread. Since they are flat, without relief, we will perform the seam for the connection on the wrong side of the motifs. The connection is the same as the connection of the front leaf

Now we sew a zipper on the right side, and crochet the remaining edges on the wrong side of the RLS in the same way, for both walls of the loops. Especially for this cover, I sewed a small pillow, which, unfortunately, turned out to be a little smaller than necessary. Now we turn the cover on the front side and put it on the pillow.
It turned out to be a nice decorative pillow. On the one hand there is a relief, and on the other side you can lie down :)

Good day, friends!

If you have the time and patience, and you cannot imagine yourself without needlework, then you probably thought about how to decorate your home. After all home comfort it is impossible to imagine without cute gizmos created for the interior with your own hands. It is from such things that a special energy emanates, which creates a warm homely atmosphere.

It just so happens that I don't often make things for home decor. I prefer to dress up. But then there was a desire to create something from this series and start with pillows. For some reason, they are most associated with home comfort, relaxation and some special warmth, the feeling of which can only be given home furnishings.

And before I came up with something of my own, using the available materials, I decided to peep ideas on the vast expanses of the Internet.

And having seen enough, I wanted to systematize these ideas a bit and make an article in which we consider various knitted pillows with diagrams and descriptions. More precisely, we will talk about knitted pillow covers.

So, let's start the review with a description general principles work on creating cushion covers, and then consider their various possible options.

It is noteworthy that for knitting pillow covers no special patterns and descriptions are required (except for rare, very difficult to make copies). It is enough just to carefully look at the chosen model, and it immediately becomes clear how it needs to be knitted using the pattern patterns already in the arsenal.

Knitting such things will be mastered by any novice knitter. Just on pillows it is easy to learn and hone your knitting skills. After all, in fact, you don’t need to knit any complex details - we just knit exactly a rectangle or square, and that’s all.

So, before starting work, we select a pillow on which we will knit a cover, and measure it.

We knit a small sample from that yarn, those knitting needles and the pattern that we chose for work. We calculate the density of knitting. Then we estimate the dimensions of the parts of the cover. They must be at least 1 cm more sizes pillows to make it fit properly. Yes, we also take into account that some part will climb onto the seams.

We collect loops and knit a rectangle, or a square of the desired size. Moreover, you can knit only one, the upper part of the cover, and the lower part can be cut out of some kind of dense fabric that matches the color of the knitted fabric.

Or you can spend more time and tie both halves of the cover. Suddenly you have to turn the pillow on all sides? Everything needs to be beautiful.

After the parts are connected, we sew along the edges on three sides, folding the parts face to face. Then we turn it out. For a fastener along the edges of the open part of the cover, we sew a zipper.

Note. You can "sew" the details of the crochet in the face. At the same time, in addition to connecting the parts, you can additionally make a beautiful crochet strapping - even with cloves, even with lace, even with ruffles - a matter of taste and imagination.

Depending on the type of pattern that the cover is knitted with, you can knit a solid long piece at once. Then simply fold it in half facing inward and sew the sides together.

You can make a pillow cover in the form of an envelope with an overhead valve and make a button fastener. But as for me, this option is not very practical for operation: welt loops are often stretched, and buttons are unbuttoned. But that's how anyone likes it.

Now let's look at the options.

The simplest pillows

Such specimens are suitable for beginner knitters, as well as those who prefer a minimalist style in the interior. They are carried out by simple patterns, but agree, and there is something in this. Moreover, as you can see, the yarn and knitting needle can be taken thick enough, which will allow you to knit the cover very quickly.

The blue pillow is made in the most ordinary garter stitch, and gray - with a pattern resembling a wicker basket for berries. At the request of readers, I give a diagram and description of this pattern:

Pillows with openwork patterns

Here it is enough to choose the openwork pattern you like and tie the details of the cover with it. You can tie the top half of the cover with an openwork pattern, and the bottom, for example, stocking stitch.

If desired, beads can be sewn on an openwork canvas, a satin ribbon can be threaded somewhere into the holes. Only under such a cover you need to additionally hem some fabric of a contrasting color so that the openwork looks more expressive.

You can crochet additional decorations and sew on top, decorating with beads. Like, for example, on this pillow with a heart and knitted flowers.

Pillows with jacquard patterns

It's the same here - choose the jacquard pattern that you like, select the yarn - and go!

An interesting solution is obtained using different colors in openwork wavy patterns. Knitting is easy, but it turns out beautifully. We select the colors and width of the stripes to your taste.

Cushion covers assembled from individual elements

Such covers can be made both monophonic and multi-colored. The bottom line is that different flaps are knitted, and then combined into a single whole. Moreover, the direction of knitting when assembling these “spare parts” can be different, which, in fact, gives the product a special charm.

In this photo, the pillow on the right is just made using this technique: individual rectangles are knitted in a pattern of stripes with offset loops, which are connected in different directions of knitting.

For variants of covers assembled from individual elements, it is advantageous to use the remnants of yarn. Here are pillows assembled from multi-colored elements:

The cover for the first pillow is sewn from separate strips, made with the pattern " pigtails» from yarn of different colors. And for the second pillow, the shreds are simply knitted in different patterns and from different yarns.

So if you knit a lot of pattern samples, you can not dissolve them, but close the loops on them and store them. And then only once! - connect, arranging by color and size, and get original case.

But these copies are made in a simple garter stitch. But how can it be played with in an original way, using yarn of various colors and different directions of parts when assembling!

Here is my "small" review. I would be glad if these ideas are useful to someone and inspire creative work. Good luck and even stitches!

Knitted pillows are a wonderful decorative item that will help add originality to your home interior. Therefore, if you skillfully own knitting needles, you should definitely try to knit such a product with your own hands. In this article, we will look at a few examples and ideas on the basis of which you can easily associate an original pillow with a simple pattern.

These four bright pillows made of juicy yarn are able to enliven almost any interior. In finished form, each of these products has dimensions of forty by forty centimeters. For each of the models, you need to prepare MAX yarn of the main shade in the amount of three hundred grams. The composition of such yarn includes merino wool and acrylic in a percentage ratio of 50:50 (forty meters per fifty grams). Also, for work you will need knitting needles: for models 21 and 22 - at number ten, and for 23 and 24 - at number nine.

Knitting density respectively:

• model 21 (M 21): nine loops (p.) and eleven rows (p.) = ten by ten centimeters;
• model 22 (M22): eight p. and eleven p. = 10 by 10 cm;
• model 23 (M 23): thirteen p. and fifteen p. = 10 by 10 cm;
• model 24 (M 24): twelve p. and sixteen p. = 10 by 10 cm.

Finished with preparatory work, consider a description of how these knitted pillows are created.

For M 21, at the first stage, they collect items in the amount of thirty-seven pieces. For M 22 - thirty-four pieces. Further knitting goes according to the first scheme (M21) and the second scheme (M 22), indicating the facial p. In the purl r. loops are knitted according to the picture. Then there is a repetition from the first to the twelfth pp. In total, tie eighty-eight p. (= eighty centimeters). After that, the loops are closed.

For M 23, dial fifty-four points and continue knitting according to scheme No. 3. Persons are also indicated here. r., in out. R. loops are knitted according to the pattern. After that, a repetition is made from the first to the twentieth pp. In total, knit one hundred and twenty p. (= eighty centimeters). Further, the item can be closed.

For M 24, the number of points scored is forty-seven. Knitting according to scheme 4. Facial p. read from right to left, and the wrong side - in the opposite direction. The repetition goes from the first to the sixteenth pp. In total, knit one hundred and thirty p. (= eighty cm), then close st.

Having finished knitting pillows by closing the loops, you can proceed to their assembly. Each of the parts is folded with short sides along the front sides, then side seams are made. Then the cover is turned inside out, filled with filler and the bottom hole is sutured.

So, quite easily and simply, you can make knitted pillows with your own hands using knitting needles.

Set of wool pillows

In the next part of the article, we offer you another equally interesting set of knitting pillows. The more concise color of the yarn used to work on this product is suitable for the interior in calm and cold shades.

The size of these pillows, as in the first case, is forty by forty centimeters.

For knitting, prepare woolen yarn COOL WOOL BIG (one hundred and twenty meters per fifty grams). In total, you will need five hundred grams of a light shade, and two hundred and fifty grams of blue and blue. In this work, you should use knitting needles No. 4.5 and hook No. 4. In addition, rectangular (eight pieces) and wedge-shaped (two pieces) buttons are used as decorative fasteners in these examples.

Knitting faces. smoothness occurs on the basis of the following scheme: in persons. R. - persons. p., in out. R. - out. P.

Out. smooth surface: in faces. R. - persons. p., in out. R. - out. P.

Garter stitch: persons. and out. R. - persons. P.

To knit the pattern “”, the number of sts must be a multiple of eighteen plus edging) - scheme A. Persons are indicated here. and out. rr. From the first to the fourth pp. doing repetitions.

All subsequent patterns: only faces are indicated., the wrong side is knitted according to the pattern, faces. cross n. - out. cross n. bumps - persons.

The central pattern (the number of stitches must be a multiple of forty-eight) is pattern B. Rows from the first to the fourteenth are knitted once, then the repetition from the third to the fourteenth follows.

The pattern of the knobs (the number of p. is a multiple of thirteen) - scheme C. Repetition from the first to the sixteenth pp.

Volumetric strips (a multiple of five) - scheme D. Repetition from the first to the fourth pp.

Scythe (a multiple of twelve). - scheme F. Repetition from the first to the fourth.

The knitting density of blue and light pillows: twenty-two points for twenty-eight p. = 10 by 10 cm.

To knit a blue and light pillow, dial 88 sts and knit them in this way: chrome, one shawl, eighteen sts with “rhombuses”, forty-eight sts with a central pattern, eighteen rhombuses, one shawl faces., chrome. Having connected eighty centimeters (= two hundred and forty-two p.) from the beginning to form a smell, knit another sixteen cm (= forty-eight p. according to the motive).

On the two hundred seventy-seventh and two hundred and eighty-ninth pp. from the beginning, instead of cones, you should knit a loop for buttons over three p. To do this, close the p. in front of the cone, p. dial again with yarn over. Having knitted ninety-six centimeters (= two hundred and ninety rubles) with knitting needles from the beginning, you can close all the stitches.

The knitted blank of the pillow is folded 40 by 40 cm, 16 cm is wrapped on the front with a smell. It remains to sew the side seams without smell and sew on the buttons.

The next two pillows are knitted with knitting needles from blue and light yarn in this way: they gain 87 points, after which the knitting is distributed according to the scheme: chrome, three points of persons. satin stitch, one persons. cross., twelve p. with a “braid” pattern, five p. voluminous strips, ten p. zigzag A, five p. volumetric strips, thirteen p. cones, five p. , one persons. cross., three p. persons. smooth, chrome Having connected eighty centimeters (= two hundred and twenty-four p.), From the beginning, close on both sides seventeen p. Continue knitting the valve for the pillow over the central 53 p. According to the motive. Having knitted the next 5.5 cm (= 16 p.) From the beginning of the valve, close nineteen sts on both sides and knit another 5.5 cm of the motive over the remaining 15 sts. Here, instead of cones, knit a buttonhole, according to the description for the blue pillow. After completing these steps, you can close all the stitches. The connected parts of the pillow are folded 40 by 40 cm and with a smell on the outside. At the final stage, it is necessary to sew up the side seams and sew on the buttons.
