Fall Harvest Pillow Knitting Pattern

Fall is a great time to freshen up the inside of your home with some new decor. Seasonal pillows are pretty fast projects that easily change the look of your couch.

This Fall Harvest Pillow from Yarnspirations looks complicated but it’s actually pretty easy stranded colorwork (reading a chart is required) and only five colors of Paton’s Classic Wool are used in the project.

To make it even easier, the back is solid color knitting so it will go a lot faster. You could even flip the pillow over and just show the back as the front when you don’t feel like squirrels and acorns anymore.

Did you know that only Americans call it Fall? When English poets started using the phrase “the fall of leaves” it became popular to call the season fall. But by the mid-1800s, after the split of the colonies from England led to language change, England reverted back to Autumn and the Americans retained the name fall. But it is also known as Harvest,

How To Preserve Fall Leaves – Home and Garden

Do you know why maple leaves are so red? The color orange/red and yellow are created from the sugar levels in the leaves, hence why Maple leaves are bright red.

When I discovered Kate Atherley’s book Circular Knitting for Beginners and Beyond, I wasn’t sure there was enough to say about circular knitting to fill a book. It’s a pretty short book (144 pages) and includes 10 patterns to practice working in the round on small projects, and it provides a decent introduction to the various ways of working in the round.

The book covers using double pointed knitting needles, flexible double points and circular knitting needles with cables. It talks about working using the full circumference of a circular needle and various ways to work smaller circumference projects, such as using DPNs, magic loop and knitting with two circular knitting needles.

In addition there’s a discussion of preventing problems like twists and ladders, swatching in the round without actually swatching in the round, grafting, blocking and weaving in ends.

More specialized techniques likes knitting from the center out, stranded colorwork, helical knitting and jogless stripes are also explored, as well as working pieces like socks or mitts two at a time.

There’s also some information about seamless sweaters, including the different sweater designs that can be worked seamlessly (and why you might want seams in your sweaters) and how they are worked from the top down or the bottom up.

There are 10 patterns in the book, including a basic stockinette stitch cowl and one with a deliberate twist, wrist warmers, mitts and a pair of colorwork mittens, a hat worked in a solid color or in helical stripes, toe up and top down socks and a beret. It would have been nice to have a basic sweater pattern, too, since the book does talk about working larger garments with circular needles, but it’s still a nice collection of basic patterns worked in the round.

If you’re already comfortable working in the round in different ways, I’m not sure there’s much for you to learn in this book, but it is a good reference for people learning circular knitting or who maybe haven’t tried all the techniques yet or need skill building projects to try.

About the book: 144 pages, paperback, 10 patterns. Published 2026 by David & Charles. Suggested retail price $24.99.
