Description of work
1. Let's start by knitting the front openwork part of the pillow. To do this, we'll make a chain of five air loops and close it into a ring.
2. Next, knit three more air loops for lifting.
3. Then from the ring we knit two more unfinished columns with one yarn over and, together with three lifting loops, we connect them together into one loop, thus obtaining the first petal.
4.After that, we knit two air loops and proceed to the formation of the next petal, consisting this time of three unfinished columns with one yarn, connected together. We will knit like this, alternating air loops and petals in a circle. In total, there should be eight identical petals.
5. Next, from the first two air loops, we knit three lifting air loops, and then two more double crochets.
6.Now we knit a chain of two air loops and from the next two air loops of the bottom row we begin to form the first corner of the future square motif. To do this, we knit the petal we are already familiar with, consisting of three columns with one yarn over, then 2 air loops and another similar petal.
7. Next, we knit the entire row in a circle in the same way as the two previous steps, as a result of which we begin to take shape of an openwork square-shaped detail.
8.We knit the next row in this way - from each loop of the bottom row we knit one column in a row, five times, we get in this way to the very corner of the square, consisting of two air loops and knit from them, as in the previous row, two petals with two columns between them.
9. We knit the entire square along the perimeter in this way, not forgetting to highlight the corners of the figure.
10. Knit the next row in the same way as the previous one, but the number of single crochet stitches will increase all the time.
11. Then we knit another similar row, it will be the last one in our product. After that we fasten the thread and cut off the excess.
12.Now we need to make a soft base for the pillow, for this we take measurements from our square knitted piece using a measuring tape or a regular ruler and transfer them with a simple pencil to the fabric folded in half with the front side up. We cut out two identical blanks, which we connect evenly together and sew around the perimeter on three sides with a thread of a suitable color, with thick stitches from an overlock stitch, which will later help us crochet the pillow.
13.Through the fourth unstitched side, we stuff the pillow with synthetic padding, we try to ensure that it is distributed evenly and holds its shape well, but at the same time, it is important that our pillow is not too stuffed and does not resemble a barrel.
14. Sew the remaining side with an overlock stitch and you will get a pillow blank like this.
15.Next, we place the knitted piece on top of the pillow and, using a hook and thread, connect them both, tying them around the perimeter with one row of single crochet stitches, while grabbing together the outer loops of the knitted motif and the stitches of the overlock stitch.
16. We need to tie the next row with arches on all four sides. Each of which consists of four air loops.
17.Then we tie each arch in a wave-like pattern, according to the following pattern - we crochet one single crochet, two double crochets, one double crochet, two double crochets and one single crochet again.
18. This is what the pillow looks like.
19.There are a few small touches left, namely a bit of stylish decor, for this we will take a satin ribbon of a pleasant chocolate shade and stretch it between the holes of the arch, on two adjacent sides, forming small neat voluminous bows along the edges.
20. Now our crocheted pillow - pincushion, is completely ready. You can safely use it for its intended purpose.
