Bobble Knit Throw Pillow

Happy Free Pattern Friday, friends! I’ve been so blown away by your response to the Bobble Knit Throw pattern I published last month, and I’m so excited for you to meet its throw pillow match!

The Bobble Knit Throw Pillow features the same diamond bobble pattern as the throw, making a perfect matching set! It is knit lengthwise and fits a 12″ by 20″ pillow insert for a modern look. It’s knit in the round as a tube, then the ends are seamed together. It’s just as easy to knit as the blanket, maybe even easier since there’s a lot less purling!

If you’ve already picked up your yarn for the throw blanket, then you’re all set! The throw uses about 3.5 skeins of Bernat Softee Chunky Big Ball (the 400g skein), and the pillow uses about half a skein. So with only 4 skeins you’ll have a matching set to cozy up your favorite spot!

Finishing:

Bind off all sts. Cut yarn, leaving a long tail for seaming.

Thread a tapestry needle with the tail end of yarn. Holding the bound off edge together, insert the needle under both legs of a knit stitch next to the bound off edge (under both legs of the ‘V’). Next, insert the needle under both strands of the corresponding st from the front edge (the upside-down ‘V’). See video tutorial for demonstration.

Continue seaming until all edge sts are seamed, and weave in end. Place pillow insert inside cover and seam the cast on edge sts in the same manner.

Bobble Knit Throw – Free Pattern

Bobble Knit Throw - free knitting pattern and tutorial from www.kniftyknittings.com #knitting #knittingpattern

Hello again friends! I have a new fun and free pattern for you today! If you’re looking to add some cozy texture to your home, I really think you’ll love the Bobble Knit Throw pattern!

Bobble Knit Throw - free knitting pattern and tutorial from www.kniftyknittings.com #knitting #knittingpattern

The Bobble Knit Throw is full of chunky bobbles in a simple but eye-catching diamond pattern. It’s surrounded in a border of classic seed stitch, which is worked as you go.

It’s the perfect size for a personal lap blanket, or feel free to make it larger or smaller by increasing or decreasing the cast on amount by multiples of ten.

My friends at Yarnspirations sent me four large skeins of Bernat Softee Chunky, which was plenty to complete this blanket with quite a bit left over! These skeins are the equivalent of four skeins in one, so you get a lot of bang for your buck (plus who doesn’t love having less ends to weave in?).

Yarnspirations has generously provided a 20% off Bernat Softee Chunky coupon code for you through May 31st 2019. Just use the code KNIFTY20 at checkout! Thanks Yarnspirations!
