Knitted pillows with knitting patterns and descriptions

The pillow is an essential attribute of night sleep, daytime rest, as well as the interior decor of the bedroom, living room, nursery. An original, soft and warm pillow with knitting needles, tied with one's own hands, gives the room the coziness of the home, makes the home comfortable, warms even in the winter cold.

What are the covers for?

The main difference between a textile pillowcase and a knitted cover of yarn is that the last element has a predominantly decorative purpose. He creates a single ensemble, including a pillow case, a bedspread, and other textile items that match in color and stylistic design.

Covers are designed to pads that are not used for sleep, could be used as a sofa, floor - decorating the room interior. Knitted accessory will protect the item from abrasion, creating a comfort in the room. It is desirable that the cover had a zipper, buttons - then it will be convenient to remove it for washing.

How to tie a pillow with your own hands

It is easy to tie a pillow yourself. It is enough to have 200-400 grams of yarn of suitable color, knitting needles or a hook of appropriate thickness, a little patience and imagination. Beginning knitters should choose the lightest cushion pattern with knitting needles.

To determine the density of knitting, it is recommended to make a small piece - approximately 10 by 10 cm. After measuring with a ruler, measure how many loops, rows, fall on each see, so as to know how many loops to dial.

Ideas for knitting cushion covers

The easiest and fastest way to tie a pillow is a facial satin stitch, a garter stitch or a regular elastic band. A little more interesting is the product with the “chess” pattern, each cell of which is four loops in width, four rows in height. The cover on the buttons is done like this: at first, a rectangle of sufficient size to wrap the pad is knitted, but the last 8-10 rows are made with a loose “one-on-one” elastic band. The finished model is simply buttoned.

A cushion with relief “knobs” is an equally interesting idea. To make a “lump” out of one eyelet, they make three, after which the work is rotated twice, on the “front” side the front loops are knitted, on the wrong side - the wrong side. After 4 rows, the extra loops are again subtracted, knitting one, the “bumps” are evenly distributed over the entire surface. A simple relief is obtained from braids knitted with facial loops. The optimal width of such a "braid" is 6-8 loops, the length of each "link" is 10-12 rows.

The product with an openwork pattern looks very original. Example - "zigzag", a description of his rapport:

• the number of loops is a multiple of nine;
• 1-4th p. knit facial;
• 5th — all facial loops: 2 together, 2 are knitted as usual, 7, 2 are knitted from one, 2 are knitted, 2 are knitted;
• 6, 8, 10th p. - all seamy;
• 7th p. - all facial: 2 together, 9 ordinary, 2 together;
• 9th p. - only facial: 2 together, 7 ordinary, 2 together;
• further repeat repeats until the end of the product.

To openwork are "leaves", as is a strip of leaves, located in the middle or edge of the pillow:

• rapport - 25 eyelets, even rows are knitted with purl loops;
• 1st row - 1-5 - front, 2 knit one, front, 2 one, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 - front, 10, 12, 14, 16 - nakid, 2 knit one, front, two one , 21-25 - facial;
• 3rd p. - 1-4 –facial, 2 knit one, front, 2 one, 8, 10, 12-14, 16, 18 - front, 9, 11, 15, 17 - nakid, 2 knit one, front, two one, 22 -25 - facial;
• 5th p. - 1-3 - facial, 2 knit one, front, 2 one, 7, 9, 11-15, 17, 19 - facial, 8, 10, 16, 18 - nakid, 2 knit one, front, two one, 23 -25 - facial;
• 7th p. - 1-2 – facial, 2 knit one, front, 2 one, 6, 8, 10-16, 18, 20 - facial, 7, 9, 17, 19 - nakid, 2 knit one, front, two one, 24 -25 - facial.

Pumpkin Pillow

An interesting option suitable for a child's room is a floor pumpkin cushion, performed on five knitting needles. Depending on the size, you will need 200-500 grams of orange yarn and a little green. First you need to collect 8 loops with green threads, close them in a circle, distribute them on 4 knitting needles, tie 10 rows.

From the 11th to the 20th row you should gradually add loops to make a circle, after the green thread breaks off, and knitting continues with an orange thread until the pillow reaches the desired diameter. The next 15-20 cm. Knit without increments, after the eyelets gradually decrease. To pumpkin has gained a realistic form, it is made utyazhka - a strong thread in the tone of the pumpkin pillow is divided into 8 "slices".

Approximately also, with the exception of constrictions, a round cushion is created with knitting needles for the floor. The product has a diameter of about one meter, height - 50 cm. It is knitted with an elastic band, a front satin stitch, any other pattern. For work you will need 900-1000 gr. yarn, knitting needles are not thinner than the 10th number, a sufficient amount of filler (foam rubber, synthetic winterizer) - the ottoman should come out quite dense, knitted bag-pillowcase.

Colored pillows

Pads can be decorated with colored patterns - stripes, geometric shapes, flowers, whole pictures. To perform any desired color pattern, you can open your favorite photo in the “paint” program, increase it to the desired size, pick up suitable threads and start to knit. Each cell here means a separate loop.

Knitting a pillow with knitting needles is no more difficult than crocheting. The last tool is easiest to use for knitting round pillows. A two-tone black and white cushion with a checkerboard pattern is made like this:

• even rows are knitted with white threads, odd rows with black ones;
• a chain of three loops closes into a ringlet into which 6 loops are knitted with single crochets;
• in the next row, the number of loops doubles - they are performed with double crochets;
• in the third row, three double crochets knit in the first loop, the second is skipped, the third again, three columns, the fourth to skip, and so on;
• in the fourth row, three columns are knitted from a loop located above the one that was missed in the last row, then one air loop, three columns from an “empty” place, an air loop, and so on;
• in subsequent rows, the number of air loops and posts increases, but so that the product has the appearance of a slightly convex circle;
• you need to connect two identical halves, which later will be connected by columns without nakida.

A pillow can “assemble” from pre-connected colored pieces - squares, triangles, flowers, both the same and different.
