Pillows have been known to mankind since ancient times. People made them from fabrics and leather, filled them with feather and down, or hay and straw. For decor used embroidery, lace, tassels and laces. By the way, they can be used not only during sleep, they can have other functions: decor, toys and used for convenience when sitting.
Needleworkers create crocheted pillows according to the schemes and descriptions of a completely diverse form. They are obtained square, round, cylindrical. Their size ranges from very tiny to huge.
Product based on grandmother's square
This pattern is considered one of the easiest to crochet. A square can be quite elementary, but their combinations make drawings pleasant for the eyes. And from the remnants of yarn comes a large square with rainbow tints.
Fishnet pillowcases look nice on a pillow. Crochet in them is supposed to knit small parts, then connect to each other in random order. One example of such air patterns is the diagram below.
Roll- shaped decorative pillow : diagram and description
Crocheted pillows are recommended to be knitted from contrasting yarn, then they will revive the boring interior. The roller pattern is made up of three parts: 2 circles and a rectangle. From circle to circle you can sew a zipper.
For crocheting all thick decorative pillows, it is recommended that you take thick yarn and a hook number 4 or more. Getting started is better with circles. They can be performed according to any scheme. In each new row, you need to alternate the colors, which will then be used for the cones on the main part of the pillow.
Scheme of cones:
- From one loop, perform 5 double crochets.
- Close them all together.
- Their color is recommended to alternate in rows in a crocheted square or rectangle.
The rectangular canvas will be the same length as the pillow should be. But its width corresponds to the circumference of the finished circles. Layout of the canvas:
- You need to start work with a chain of air loops.
- The first two rows: single crochet in each loop.
- Third row: the same columns, alternating with cones in every fifth loop.
- Fourth-Sixth Rows: Repeat the first two.
- Then again a row with bumps.
Multi-colored crocheted pillowcase for pillow
It is made from a single canvas made in the shape of a rectangle. Its width will determine the size of the future pillow:
- On a chain of air loops, perform two rows with simple single crochet columns. The color of the threads up to this point should be one. Then it is supposed to take a yarn of a different color.
- In the third row, the indicated columns will need to be alternated with the extended ones, that is, connected to the base of the previous row. The pattern may vary, depending on the desire of the needlewoman. For example, two ordinary columns and one extended.
- The fourth row consists entirely of columns knitted, as in the first row.
- Then again it is supposed to change the yarn and repeat the knitting according to the pattern, as in the previous two rows. You need to continue this alternation so many times to get a canvas whose height is two times the width and another third (on the bend for the fastener).
- Finishing of the canvas: two rows with holes for buttons. The first of them is formed by the alternation of 4 columns and 3 air loops. Second: still only single crochet.
Now the pillowcase needs to be sewn. To do this, it must be folded so that the smell with holes is bent first. On top of it lay the second half of the canvas. Run side seams. Unscrew the pillowcase and sew the buttons.
Volumetric double-sided pillow
You can start crocheting such a pillow according to the pattern and description of any Zigzag pattern (alternating colors gives a special charm to this product):
- The entire canvas can be divided into three parts. The first is done with one shade, the second with contrasting mottled, and the last with white.
- Then, with a needle or crochet at the round pillow, sew the sides of the zigzag from only one edge.
- Take a metal ring and tie it in single crochet columns.
- Sew this ring to the hole in the fabric.
- Tie a large button with thread in tone yarn from the edge.
- Sew it to a metal ring.
- Place the packing inside and perform the indicated actions on the opposite side of the pillow.
It turns out a curly double-sided pillow. She has a white flower on one side and a green one on the opposite.
Yarn Pillow
It is most convenient to knit in a circle. And change the thread at the moment when one of the colors has ended. But if the hanks are quite large, then the yarn can be cut at any time. And it is not necessary to try to complete a full circle. Arcs can also look spectacular:
- It is supposed to start work with a ring of 6 air loops. Tie them with single crochet.
- In the second round, knit the same columns, but only two in each loop.
- Then carry out knitting in a circle, evenly adding loops in rows. Since the circle should always remain flat and straight.
Finishing work on the pillowcase is to stitch two circles. To achieve ease of use, sew a zipper into half the pillow.
Pillow ball for children
It can be made like a soccer ball, that is, use only two colors: white and black. But it can be multi-colored - one main tone, on which color inserts are placed.
In any case, 32 motifs of hexagons (20) and pentagons (12) are needed for this crocheted pillow. The scheme and description of the first of them (hexagon) is as follows:
- On a ring of six air loops, single crochet. Just not in a row - every two columns it is supposed to make an air loop. There should be six air loops in total.
- In each next circle from the arch of the air loop, knit a single crochet, an air loop, a single crochet. That is, 6 arches will come out again. The hexagon is supposed to be completed by tying 5 circles.
- The pentagon fits in a similar way. Only the chain needs to be composed of 5 loops. Then knit circles, knitting air loops so that there are five in a circle. You need to complete the part after 4 circles are connected.
It remains to sew the details so that each pentagon is surrounded by hexagons. When it remains to sew one piece, fill with filler. Then finish it. The pillow ball is ready!
