This pillow design takes inspiration from the medallion at the center of a traditional rug. The front is crafted in the round using a disappearing loop cast on and features increasing rounds of stranded knitting. The first seven repeats of the pattern are identical, while the eighth and final repeat includes slight modifications to camouflage the round jog, starting with an additional stitch added in Round 7. The back comprises two overlapping semicircles, worked from garter tabs and secured with buttons. Upon completion, the front and back are placed together and finished with an I-cord 3-needle bind-off, resulting in a beautifully cohesive and elegant pillow.

River is a tasseled pillow that features a twining central motif of alternating large and small not-quite-cables, flanked by angled stitches moving across a background of reverse stockinette. Inspired by an area in California where three underground water sources converge to supply fresh water to San Francisco Bay residents, the pillow’s stitchwork flows downwards, drawing the eye along a pathway that is only partly revealed.
The pillow is knit in the round and utilizes a sock-inspired cast on that eliminates most of the seaming. A ridge is knit into each side to mark where the tassels will attach and make placement easier.

It’s all about texture with this pillow. From smooth stockinette stitch, to purl rows, to boucle mixed with purl rows, and then boucle all by itself. Textural relief mixed with some color play, too. And just to give it that final push, add in poms and tassels. Let’s have some fun this fall!

This summer pillow is a fun sampler of various knitting techniques, including seed stitch, stockinette, reverse stockinette, garter stitch, eyelets, and twisted traveling stitches. These techniques combine to create a sandcastle motif on the front of the cushion cover and a seashell motif bordered by wavy lines of eyelets and garter stitch on the back. In addition to featuring a wide variety of textural stitches, this design is also a great opportunity to gain experience at working from charts, because the pattern is fully charted.
