How to make the most crocheted pillows?

In the winter, it is pleasant to wrap yourself in a warm sweater with a cup of fragrant tea. Knitted clothes give us a feeling of coziness, warmth and comfort. So why not use such things in the interior? Decorative crocheted cushions and plaid - it's beautiful and home-style cozy. Also, the use of such products as decor is one of the latest trends in interior design.

Do crocheted cushions with knitting needles or crochet - to whom is more accustomed. The type of yarn can also be used at its own discretion, since the range of options of natural or artificial yarns allows this. The only thing that should be considered when choosing a yarn - it is better to take a wool with a short pile. So much more practical. Do not forget about the color scheme. Knitted cushions can serve as a bright accent or harmoniously fit 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 the spokes 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 pattern of interlacing or, as they call this drawing, from a braid. Knitted cushions with this decoration will look interesting and versatile. Use standard schemes, increasing the number of loops for a more expressive decor. For example, you can bind five or more instead of three facial ones for more effective interlacing. I recommend to use knitting needles not less than the tenth number, in extreme cases you can take the eighth number. The length of the fabric should be equal to the length of the two sides of our pads. Do not forget to make a small allowance for the seams on the sides and from the butt.

Plaid is better to do the size of a little more than a blanket, so that it completely covers the bed linen. The consumption of yarn on a blanket 140 cm wide and 180 cm long will be 2.5 kg or 3 thousand meters. But very much depends on the size of the spokes and the type of yarn. A more accurate calculation can be made based on the expenditure per one crocheted pillow. Make her measurements, count the number of loops per square 10x10 cm, taking into account the number of spokes and the density of the mating, and then you can proportionally calculate the required amount of yarn in meters or grams.

Patterns with which knitted pillows are decorated, it is better to choose not strongly volumetric. Since over time they will "wear out" and will not look very attractive. Stylish and unusual will look a pillow from melange yarn.

If you do not know how or do not like to knit, and decorate your home interior with a knitted cushion, you really want, then the proceeds will come an alternative and very original idea with the remaking of ready-made clothing. Cut off the unnecessary parts, previously aligning the figure (if any) symmetrically with respect to the sides of the pillow, and carefully stitched. So you get the original decorative crocheted cushions.

Such things can also be made with a hook. These pads will add individuality and coziness to the home interior. And the decorative pillow case can be linked, based on the so-called "grandmother's square" scheme.
