Hand-made things help to create comfort and coziness in the house, they breathe warmth. For example, knitted pillows on a sofa can not only emphasize the advantages of the interior, but also become functional and practical elements to use. Even a novice needlewoman can choose a beautiful pattern for herself 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 selected yarn. Craftswomen advise to select yarn with acrylic and wool in the composition for pillows, so that the canvas turns out to be moderately soft and elastic. This will help maintain the desired shape of the product during its use.
For decorative items, you can use fancy threads, decorated with beads and beads of different sizes. Mercerized cotton in the composition will also add originality to the finished pillow. For openwork interior accessories, it is better to select thin iris yarn, with the help of 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 will not work for a large instrument. A beautiful pattern will be obtained from thick yarn and large knitting needles, the work process will be quick.
You can knit covers on a ready-made pillow or create everything yourself. For the base, a filler is chosen that does not allow the product to deform. Ideal option a synthetic winterizer of medium hardness will become, you can take it in balls, then the pillow will look plump and stuffed, but at the same time it will turn out to be soft and comfortable.
It is not advised to use natural fillers from down, because feathers will easily knock out through the pillowcase and knitted fabric. Concerning color combinations and tint gamut, there are no restrictions here. The main thing is that the chosen design fits the general style of the room, combined with furniture and textiles.
Knitting methods can also vary. Experienced needlewomen create a long canvas that is twice the size of a standard pillow, then crochet its edges. This is a practical method as the result is a symmetrical, even pattern. Novice craftswomen can practice on small motives or creating two elements that, after completing the process, will need to be sewn together.
You can knit a pillow with knitting needles for beginners using a simple technique. For this, garter stitching, front fabric, technique of alternating purl and front loops are suitable. To decorate the surface, you can use decorative buttons, sewing elements or motifs from applied embroidery. The stitching technique also goes well with a knitted surface.
It will be interesting to look at a pattern that resembles a wicker basket. It is easy to perform, because it consists of two motives. For the pattern, the number of elements is typed in multiples of 10, and additionally a pair 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 will be able to decorate as classic style and modern design.
Knitted cushions with knitting needles can be not only practical, but also beautiful. You don't have to create a standard square piece, you can experiment with the shape by tying the original round piece. For work, you need knitted spaghetti yarn. You can replace it with fluffy woolen threads.
The process will require:
At first, twenty loops are typed, but you can add a few more if you want to create a voluminous pillow. But the number must be even so that the canvas does not shift. Also be sure to consider a couple of edge loops.
The first row is performed by alternating the front and back loops 1 x 1. In the second line, increments are made to expand the canvas. To do this, after each pair of loops, one yarn is made. Knit like this to the end of the row. As a result, thirty loops should remain on the needles.
Knit the next row with crochets through three loops, then return to performing the second row with frequent crochets. Knit the fabric in 20 rows, changing the shades of the yarn depending on the color combinations. Then close all loops.
Tie the second same element, connect both finished ones with a sewing needle and thread, leaving a small hole for the filler, then sew together. You will get a beautiful sofa with an interesting shape. You can attach a few buttons or beads to the surface to make the product look more elegant.
You can knit a round pillow in the form of a beautiful pouf. This will require approximately 160 g of knitting yarn and number 15 knitting needles. You also need to buy filler and thick fabric for pillowcase so that the synthetic winterizer does not break through the holes between the hinges.
The basis of labor is the scarf technique, the execution scheme is simple. You need to work with a thread in several folds so that the process moves faster.
The knitted pillow cover with knitting needles is ready, now we need to assemble. Pull the yarn folded in several rows through the arcs of the edges of the canvas, pull them as much as possible, securely fixing the rest of the thread.
Repeat a similar 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 two rows of the base to hide the tightening points. A knitted yarn product will not only be beautiful, but also practical, elastic and quite durable for reusable use. In addition, the pouf pillow will suit any type of interior.
Hand-made pillows can complement the style, decorate the room, and emphasize the design. But in most cases, they combine not only beauty and decorativeness, but also practicality. It is convenient to rest on such products, they can be used to decorate a sofa or add brightness with contrasting colors in the design.
Recently, it has become popular to make pillows as gifts. Funny images, cartoon characters, knitted items, products in the form of a woman's breast can cheer everyone up.
In the process of choosing a scheme and a future pattern, it is necessary to decide on the functionality of the thing - how it will be used, whether it can be combined with the general style. Thanks to its many uses, knitted pillows take a leading position among other handicraft items.
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 be stuffed with dust. To avoid rapid wear and tear of the knitted product, it is necessary to use high-quality care products.
Covers should be washed separately from other things so that various 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 designed for woolen products.
It is best to wash by hand, without squeezing the yarn too much 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 get loose and do not become covered with spools.
Dry the product horizontally by laying it on the fabric folded several times. This will allow the garment to dry evenly without stretching. Drying the pillowcase with the filler is a mistake. 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.
You cannot use an iron for ironing and straightening the knitted garment, as this will negatively affect the thickness of the yarn and lead to hardening of the threads. The option using a steam iron is allowed, but at low power and without adding salt.
You do not need to starch the 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 hand-made things allows you to decorate the house with rich shades, as well as add bright colors to your daily routine.
