Cast on 50 sts
Work in Cable Stitch Pattern until desired length ending after Row 4 of pattern.
Bind off all stitches in pattern.
Finishing
Sew cast on edges and side seams of pillow tog. Fill with polyfiill or pillow form.
I like the polyfiill best.
Sew final seam.
The two pieces look gray.
The completed pillow is the color it really is.
I'm going to knit another one for the other side of the pew.
I used size 8 needles
Don't know the name of the color because it was left over from some other project and don't have the label anymore.
The yarn is 4 wt
The skill level is easy.
The cable stitch is easy once you learn it. If you haven't tried it, do so and you will be surprised how easy it actually is.
What a wonderful knitted pillow. Awesome job. Janice
ReplyDeleteThere is honestly nothing better than a "leftover yarn" project that actually looks expensive. Cable knits have this way of looking super complicated to anyone who doesn't knit, but like you said, once you find the rhythm of that 6-row repeat, it’s actually pretty relaxing. I’m with you on the polyfill—it lets you get into the corners much better than a stiff pillow form, especially for something going on a wooden pew. That texture is going to look great against the wood. Good luck with the second one; at least you know the pattern by heart now.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
