Assembly diagram

Completing of the work

Square pillow

For the front side, knit 4 squares I, while doing only the 1st–5th round, 1 square V and 4 squares VI.

For the back side - 1 square I, but in total knit 17 circles, with the 12th–17th circle. Continue knitting according to the pattern.

Assembly

Sew all the squares for the front side with a mattress seam according to the assembly pattern, while grasping only the back wall of the loops along the outer row of st. s/n.

Sew the front and back sides of the pillowcase, leaving a 30 cm long section open in the bottom seam for a zipper.

Sew in a zipper.

Rectangular pillow

For the front side of the pillowcase, make 4 squares II, as well as 2 squares III and IV. For the back side - 8 squares II.

Assembly

Sew the back side from 2 x 4 squares II. Assemble like a square pillow, but for the zipper, leave a 45cm section along the long side of the rectangle unsewn.

Pillows knitted with openwork squares will decorate your home and add coziness.

Roses in your hands will “bloom” quickly), since they are made from thick yarn with a thick hook according to a very simple pattern.

Operating procedure:

The final goal of the work is a rectangular pillow with small roses - size 40 x 60 cm. The upper part of the pillowcase consists of 42 fragments, made with crochet number 3 from the remains of wool yarn (white, yellow, green, blue and black). For each fragment you need 10-15 g of yarn, depending on its quality.

Knitting the fragment begins from the center, with a chain of 12 air loops. They are closed with a half-column - the 1st circle is obtained.

2nd circle - 4 chains of 4 air loops, secured with half-columns on a ring through 2 loops of the chain.

After the 7th round, green leaves are knitted, making 4 double crochets from the top point of the rose petal and 1 chain crochet between them and 2 single crochets between the petals (lower point). Along the entire circle from double crochet to single crochet, 2 chain stitches are knitted.

9th circle - double crochets made of black yarn.

To ensure that all fragments are the same size, the edges of the finished fragment are lightly moistened with cold water and placed on the template. It is done like this: draw a square of the required size on a board and drive 8 small nails into the corners of the square and in the middle of each side. The wet fragment, rose side up, is placed on the nails and, after it has dried, removed. Next, use the template for the next fragment.

The finished fragments are connected to each other using single crochets of blue yarn: first, in strips of 6 fragments (the short side of the pillowcase) - a total of 7 strips, then they are connected to each other.

It is better to make the lower part of the pillowcase from blue or black wool fabric. Fill the pillow with filling and that's it, your job is done.

Home comfort consists of thousands of little things, most of which you can easily create with your own hands. Knitted pillows are that home accessory that no true needlewoman will deny herself the pleasure of knitting.

Firstly, crocheting a pillow is considered one of the easiest ways to master the basics of crocheting, so any novice craftswoman taking her first steps in the art of crocheting can do it.

Secondly, a knitted pillow will decorate any interior - both elaborate classical and modern minimalist style. This means that such a pillow will find a place in the living room, children’s bedroom and even in a formal office.

And, thirdly, a knitted pillow does not at all mean the only way to use it as a product for sitting comfort. With its help you can decorate upholstered furniture and even create a certain style in the interior. The imagination of a needlewoman, coupled with knowledge of various crocheting techniques, will help create pillows of various sizes (from tiny to massive) with all sorts of patterns and reliefs - from simple “bumps” and zigzags to intricate floral openwork and even Irish lace.

If you wish, you can knit a variety of pillows, both in shape and purpose. From under the hook come traditional rectangular pillows for decorating sofas, flat pillows for comfortable sitting on hard chairs, scented sachet pillows, pillows for wedding rings and even pillows in the shape of funny cartoon characters.

Square, round, oval, triangular, cylindrical, star-shaped or heart-shaped - any pillow can be crocheted! At the same time, it is most convenient to knit not the pillow itself (especially if it is openwork), but a cover (pillowcase) for it, which can always be removed and washed without damaging the stuffing material.

Knitting pillows is also a great way to use up leftover yarn from previous knitting projects. As a rule, from several colors of yarn (25-100 grams each) you can create a pillow of amazing beauty without spending a penny on its production!

Today’s article is devoted to crocheting original pillows - a classic openwork one, in the shape of a cylinder with colored splashes, as well as an oversized flower floor pillow, made in bright colors.

Round openwork pillow with an airy border-band

A pillow made in openwork motifs will look beautiful in the living room on the sofa, and can also serve as a soft backing for the seat of a chair. To create it, you need to knit an openwork pillowcase according to the pattern and description given below, and also sew the round pillow itself from improvised materials (unnecessary fabric and padding polyester or holofiber filling).

To knit a pillowcase for a pillow with a diameter of 35 cm, you need about 100 grams. any yarn (you can take leftovers) and hook No. 2.

Knitting pattern:

Knitting a pillowcase consists of two parts: the upper one, made with an openwork motif, and the lower one, knitted with single crochets.

Abbreviations used

• VP – air loop;
• Runway - air. lifting loop;
• SSN, art. s/n – double crochet;
• RLS, art. b/n – single crochet;
• PR – prev. row;
• n. - loop;
• c. - chain;
• A. – arch;
• SS – connection column.

Knitting sequence

Top part:
We dial c. on 6 VP, close the SS in a circle.
Row No. 1: 4 VP (3 VP lift + 1 VP), then repeats in the amount of 12 pcs. “1 dc in the ring + 1 ch”, we get 12 a., we end the row with a ss.
Row No. 2: 4 VP (3 VP lift + 1 VP), 1 Dc in the first runway + 1 VP, then 12 repeats: “2 Dc in the PR column, one dc between them. loop + 1 VP above VP PR.” SS.
Row No. 3: 3 runways, 1 dc from air. PR loops, 1 dc in next. column PR, 1 VP, then 12 rapports: “1 DC in column PR, 1 DC in a. from the air point PR, 1 CCH in the next. column PR, 1 VP.” SS.
Row No. 4: 3 runways, 2 dc in the next row. column PR, 1 dc in the next row. CCH PR, 2 VP, then 12 rapports: “1 CCH in the next.” column PR, 2 dc in the next row. column PR, 1 dc in the next row. column PR, 2 VP.” SS.
Row No. 5: 3 runways, 1 dc in the next row. column PR, 2 dc in the next row. column PR, 1 dc in the next row. column PR, 3 VP, 12 rapports: “1 dc in the next. column PR, 1 dc in the next row. column, 2 dc in the next row. column PR, 1 dc in the next row. column PR, 3 VP.” SS.
Rows No. 6-16: we work according to the scheme, closing each of them with a SS.

Bottom part:
We dial c. on 6 VP, close the SS into a ring.
Row No. 1: 1 runway, 11 sc in the resulting ring. SS.
Rows No. 2-25: 1 runway, knit in single stitches, systematically adding 6 sc in each row. SS.

Assembling the pillowcase:
We connect the two finished parts of the product from the inside out using a sc, leaving a hole (later you can sew on a button or insert a snake). Turn the pillowcase inside out. We tie it around the perimeter with an openwork border according to the binding pattern (5 rows). The pillowcase for the round pillow is ready!

Original cylindrical bolster pillow

At first glance, it may seem that knitting a cylindrical pillow requires a Herculean effort, however, this is not so. You can crochet such a bright beauty in two or three evenings watching TV, try it, you won’t regret it!

Cylinder fabric knitting pattern:

Knitting pattern for the side of the pillow:

The roller is knitted with contrasting multi-colored yarn, we used a thick coal-black thread as a basis, and bright threads for decoration: blue, purple, light green, yellow, pink, orange and red. If the pillow is knitted from thick yarn, there is no need to worry about the inner pillowcase and filling; a thick knitted fabric will replace such a pillowcase; all that remains is to fill the cylinder with synthetic padding and securely sew the edges, or sew in a zipper to facilitate the process of stuffing and subsequent washing.

For a cylinder pillow, you need to knit two side circles and one rectangular fabric.

Knitting circle

We dial c. from 4 air. loop.
Each new row - change the color of the thread according to the diagram.
Row No. 1: 3 runways, 11 dc. SS.
Row No. 2: 3 runways, then - in each paragraph of PR - 2 Dcs. SS.
Row No. 3: 3 runways, knit with rapports: “1 dc in next. p. PR, 2 dc in the next. n. PR.” SS.
Row No. 4: 3 runways, knit with rapports: “1 dc in next. p. PR, 1 Dc in the next. p. PR, 2 dc in the next. n. PR.” SS.
Rows No. 5-7: knit according to the pattern.
Row No. 8: knit in s/n stitches without increases. SS.

Cylindrical part

Using a thread of the main color we collect c. from the desired amount of air. loops, focusing on the length of the future pillow.

The fabric is knitted in non-woven columns, with multi-colored “bumps” evenly knitted. The “bump” is knitted like this: 5 unfinished DCs are knitted from one warp stitch, there are 6 loops on the hook, which are knitted into one with a working thread.

The first two rows are worked with sc in each stitch of the warp. We start each row from the runway.
Third row - knit with the addition of one “bump” between every 5th sc (choose colors as desired or according to the pattern indicated above).
The next three rows are sc.
The seventh row is with knitting “bumps”. We repeat knitting rows until we obtain the desired width of the fabric.

Roller assembly:

We connect the rectangular fabric into a cylinder (from the inside we knit the two edges with non-woven stitches or joining stitches). Turn it inside out and attach the sides. We leave a hole on one side of the cylinder for filling with filler. We insert a zipper into it or sew it up.

Multi-colored flower floor pillow

Pillows are not only for sofas; a massive flower pillow that acts as a mini-chair is proof of this. Such a magnificent pillow can be used for decorative purposes, but it is also good as a seat - no one will mind lying on a bright, soft knitted flower!

The diameter of the pillow is as much as 85 centimeters, so it will require a lot of yarn to make it - almost 1 kg of yarn in the main color and 500 grams of threads in contrasting colors. We take hooks number 5 and 9. Don’t forget about the filler, you need at least a kilogram of it.

Despite the enormity of the work, it is performed in columns b/n and s/n. Each new row starts at 1 runway and ends with a connector. column.
Two sides are knitted: back and front.

Knitting the back

Using a thread of the main color (ours is blue), we cast on a c. from VP, we connect it with a SS into a ring, into which we perform 6 tbsp. b/n. We close the first and all subsequent rows with SS.

Good afternoon dear friends!

I present to you my new motif pillow. I saw the original idea in my group with classmates. That square motif pillow was made in white. She is so charming that I definitely wanted to knit.

However, I still chose pink yarn, which is most suitable for my interior. Almost all of my pillows are pink and lilac.

Just last year I unraveled one blouse that became too big, and the yarn sat waiting for my inspiration and embodiment in new ideas.

Crochet pillows made from square motifs can also be crocheted from thin cotton yarn. I once knitted an iris pillow, spent a lot of time on it, the result pleased me, but I don’t want to knit for so long anymore.

This time I used medium-thick wool blend yarn (wool blend, acrylic, polyester). I knitted the pillow in just three days.

My hook is number 2.7.

So, a pillow made from crocheted motifs is a master class.

Knitting pillow motif

The pillow consists of 18 very simple motifs, the knitting of which we will consider in detail.

We close 5 air loops into a ring.

1st row: 3VP, 15 C1H.

2nd row: 4VP, *1C1H, 1VP*.

3rd row: 3VP, 2С1Н under the chain loop of the previous row, 1С1Н in the column of the previous row.

4th row: 1 VP, * 10 VP, a column in the third column of the previous row, 3 VP, a column in the sixth column of the previous row, 5 VP, a column in the ninth column of the previous row, 3 VP, a column in the twelfth column of the previous row *.

5th row: 3VP, 4С1Н under the arch of 10 VP of the previous row, 3VP, 5С1Н under the same arch, a column under the arch of 3 chain loops, 7С1Н under the arch from 5VP, a column under the arch of 3 chain loops and so on we tie arches of 10 and 5 air loops.

6th row: 3VP, *5VP, a column under the arch from the VP corner of the motif, 3VP, a column under the same arch, 5VP, C1H in the connecting column of the previous row, 3VP, a column in a column above the arch of the previous row, 3VP, C1H in the connecting column of the previous row*.

7th row: we tie the arches of air loops with single crochets, in the corners between the columns there are three air loops.

8th row: we tie the motif with single crochets, in the corners between the columns there are three air loops.

In total, you need to knit 9 motifs for the front side of the pillow and 9 for the back side.

It’s hard to say how much yarn I used, since I used leftovers.

Combination of pillow motifs

We connect the motifs together with a hook using single crochets or connecting stitches, inserting the hook under both walls of the loops of the motifs.

In order to be able to insert the pillow into this pillowcase, I left an unstitched area on the wrong side.

Assembling a pillow from motifs

I sewed the pillow itself from an old crimson T-shirt that was too small for me

Against this contrasting background, the pattern of motifs stands out clearly.

I filled the cover with holofiber from an old large pillow. (In general, all the work was made from scrap materials, which houses were found

I put the pillow in a knitted pillowcase and then crocheted the remaining unstitched part.

We tie the finished pillow from the motifs with a simple border: in the first row there are arches of 5 air loops, in the second row we tie the arches with single crochets.

This is how the pillow made from crochet motifs turned out.

I don’t know what impression the photo conveys, but it actually looks so modern and stylish! I love.

Similarly, you can knit pillows from other motifs. Patterns for crocheting motifs for pillows can be found here>>.

Crochet fluffy pillows from leftover yarn

Hello everyone, friends!

Today I have a selection of crocheted pillows from motifs. I have accumulated interesting patterns in my bookmarks, I made a video for some models, and I knitted something myself, as without this)).

I will include in this post a reminder about the pillows made from square motifs already available on the blog, for which there is a description of knitting, and new patterns of motifs for pillows, they are quite simple, well, it couldn’t be simpler!

Crochet pillows - diagrams

The latest version features a pillow made from embroidered motifs. The openwork motif is knitted according to the given pattern, and the dense one, on which embroidery is subsequently performed, is knitted with single crochets, their number will need to be counted by the number of loops of the last row of the openwork motif.

There is a separate publication in which you can find a pattern, a description of knitting, and a master class with photos.

How to knit a pillow with motifs

Materials

First of all, let's figure out what yarn to use. Of course, in some cases, both acrylic and wool are suitable, especially if you plan to use leftover yarn. But knitted cotton pillows look best, neater and more beautiful.

Again, depending on the size of the motif and their number, you need to determine the thickness of the thread.

And, as always, we select the hook to match the yarn.

The most important thing is to choose beautiful colors that are in harmony with each other.

You have chosen the yarn and hook, now you can try to knit one motif and estimate the size of the future pillow, see if everything suits you.

If yes, we knit all the motifs for the pillow and then connect them together.

How to connect

You can connect both on the face and on the back. If you want the seam to be less noticeable, it is better to do it from the wrong side; in this case, I like to connect the inner loops with connecting posts.

If you connect along the front side (I do this with single crochets on both sides of the loop), then at the seam you will get a beautiful convex scar.

Wrong side

The reverse side of the pillow can be knitted from the same motifs or with a solid fabric - single crochet, double crochet, granny square.

Clasp

Here, if you wish, you can:

• sew a zipper at the bottom of the knitted cover
• if a button fastening is provided, then it is better to do it on the wrong side in the middle or closer to the edge, then the knitting will have to be divided into two parts and knit loops in one of them
• I don’t make any fastening at all, I connect the edges tightly)) with crochet. And when washing I unravel a small area, it is not at all difficult and does not take much time.

Border

Usually, a simple, uncomplicated border is knitted along the edge of the finished pillow; the standard version is with toes made from arches tied with columns.

Here's an interesting diagram:

Pillows with these pillows turn out very beautifully; see how to knit one like this in my master class.
