With all the chunky knit blankets being casually tossed at the ends of beds and couches lately, it’s only fair to extend this trend to the humble pillow - and this one will sit beautifully as a feature on any couch or bed.
All you’ll need to loop-de-loop your way to success is 2m of stretch fabric (like jersey), polyester fibre filling, thread to match your fabric, and the usual sewing machine and tools.
Check out this video from Homes To Love to learn how to make one of these cushions.
Homes To Love used a beautiful cement colour here, which I can see stacked up against different textured and sized grey pillows on a bed, or switch out for a brighter colour for a feature in the kids’ rooms!
Once you’ve finished your own knot cushion, make sure to upload a photo to your dashboard!
