In winter, it is pleasant to wrap yourself in a warm sweater with a cup of fragrant tea. Knitted clothes give us a sense of coziness, warmth and comfort. So why not use such things in the interior? Decorative knitted pillows and a plaid - it is beautiful and cozy at home. Also, the use of such products as a decor is one of the latest trends in interior design.
They make knitted pillows with knitting needles or crochet - to whom than usual. The type of yarn can also be used at your own discretion, since the range of options for natural or artificial yarn allows this. The only thing to consider when choosing yarn is that it is better to take wool with a short pile. So much more practical. Do not forget about the color scheme. Knitted pillows can serve as a bright accent or blend harmoniously into the interior without standing out from the overall color of the room.
Of course, hand knitting is a long process. But if you use knitting needles of the twentieth or thirtieth number and choose a simple pattern, then the process does not seem long and tedious. For beginners, I recommend starting with a simple weave pattern or, as they also call this pattern, with a braid. Knitted pillows with this decoration will look interesting and universal. Use standard patterns, increasing the number of loops for a more expressive decor. For example, instead of three faces, you can knit five or more for more spectacular weaves. Knitting needles I recommend using at least the tenth number, in extreme cases, you can take the eighth number. The length of the canvas should be equal to the length of the two sides of our pads. Do not forget to make a small allowance for seams on the sides and from the end.
It is better to make a plaid slightly larger than the blanket so that it completely covers the bedding. The yarn consumption for a bedspread 140 cm wide and 180 cm long will be 2.5 kg or three thousand meters. But a lot depends on the size of the knitting needles and the type of yarn. A more accurate calculation can be made based on the consumption of one knitted pillow. Take her measurements, count the number of loops per square measuring 10x10 cm, taking into account the number of knitting needles and the density of knitting, and then in proportion it will be possible to calculate the required amount of yarn in meters or grams.
The patterns with which knitted pillows are decorated are best chosen not very voluminous. Since over time, they will “slip over” and will not look very attractive. A pillow of melange yarn will look stylish and unusual .
If you do not know how or do not like to knit at all, and you really want to decorate your home interior with a knitted pillow, then an alternative and very original idea will come to the rescue with the alteration of ready-made clothes. We cut off the unnecessary parts, after aligning the pattern (if any) symmetrically with respect to the sides of the pillow, and carefully sew it. Thus, you get the original decorative knitted pillows.
Crocheting such gizmos can also be done. These pillows will add personality and comfort to your home interior. A decorative pillowcase can be connected, based on the so-called pattern "grandmother's square."
