SUPER BULKY #6 WEIGHT YARN:
I used Loops & Threads Cozy Wool in the color ‘Claret’ for the red pillow shown in the photos. Unfortunately, this yarn has been discontinued.
The pattern will also work well with many super bulky yarns including Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick and Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick.
GAUGE: 10 stitches and 13 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
SKILL LEVEL: Easy
A great pattern for any level of knitter…from confident beginner to advanced.
You will need to know how to cast on stitches, knit and purl confidently, bind off stitches and weave in ends.
The pillow is knit flat and seamed on the sides. Felt applique letters are added after knitting.
As with any knitting project, careful finishing makes all the difference in the outcome of the finished project. I put a lot of effort into breaking down all the steps for finishing. The pattern includes detailed written instructions and lots of photos to walk you through every step of finishing.
If you do not have a lot of experience with sewing up knitting seams, there are detailed photo illustrated instructions in the pattern.
Basic sewing skills helpful for stitching the felt letters to the knitting.
