The pattern for this loopy textured throw pillow is from the Yarnspirations site found here.
#Loop yarn pillow pattern how to
How to make a loopy textured throw pillow It’s pretty and extremely soft, but there was a good bit of shedding while I knitted it up, and it just doesn’t feel nearly as sturdy as the other two yarns. This is the last yarn I’ve tried, and it’s definitely my least favorite. Again, this one is machine washable and I’d definitely recommend it. This yarn comes in smaller balls, about half the size of the Blanket EZ, which are also half the price. And the colors! They have a really great selection of solids in the most gorgeous shades, as well as some variegated shades. I used this yarn for today’s pillow, and I really love it as well! It’s also very soft, but feels slightly sturdier than the Blanket EZ yarn, which I actually like better when you’re using the basic knit stitch.
#Loop yarn pillow pattern free
The thing I like best about this brand is the really fantastic website that has tons of free patterns, including the one for today’s pillow. It has held up well so far and is machine washable. It comes in a larger size ball and is available in quite a few colors, including some really pretty variegated colors (like the one I used on the cable knit blanket). It’s extremely soft, so much so that my kids fight over the blankets regularly. This was the yarn I’ve used for both of my blankets, and I’ve really loved it.
#Loop yarn pillow pattern update
I think there’s at least one more brand that I haven’t tried yet – when I do I’ll update here! Bernat Alize Blanket EZ yarn This yarn isn’t cheap, but it’s tons of fun to work with if you’re willing to watch for sales, which happen regularly.
I’ve purchased all of them from Jo-Ann, and always on sale. I’ve now tried three different loop yarn brands, so I thought I’d give you a quick rundown of my thoughts on each. It’s called Seafoam and it might be the prettiest thing I’ve ever seen! This is what it looks like when you purchase it: I just about swooned when I saw this color at the craft store.
Today I’m sharing an instructional video that will show you exactly how to make one too! The blanket got tossed aside and I started this throw pillow the next day and finished it in a couple of hours. I have another blanket planned, but while checking out some free patterns I came across the instructions for this awesome loopy textured throw pillow. Last fall I made two different blankets: this buffalo check blanket using the basic knit stitch, and this pretty cable knit blanket. Loop yarn has loops already sewn into it, making it super easy to knit with just your fingers even if you have no idea how to knit. Last fall I discovered loop yarn, which was revolutionary for me. I’ve always wanted to learn how to knit or crochet, but having mild carpal tunnel means I have a really hard time holding knitting needles or crochet hooks for long periods of time. In today’s post: Learn how to use loop yarn to finger knit this cool textured throw pillow.
