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,

The other day I saw a post from Pinterest about trends for summer and it said one of them was “cultivating whimsy.”

Well, I don’t know where Pinterest has been all this time, but we’ve been cultivating whimsy here at Craft Gossip for a long time. I love sharing projects that are a little different, things that make you smile when you see them, and will make you smile when you knit them and wear them or use them.

Such it is with the Tutti Frutti tee knitting pattern from Bea Creative Knits.

This cute little baby tee is worked top down in the round with contiguous shoulder construction to shape the sleeve caps. There are short rows for the neckline and folded hems with picot edging at the hemline, neckline and edges of the sleeves.

All of this would be great on its own, but then there’s the addition of a super cute fruit icon, which is added with duplicate stitch. There are a lot of options, including strawberry, banana, orange, cherries, watermelon, lemon, blueberries, kiwi, peach, dragon fruit, apple and pear, so it’s likely you can add on your favorite fruit.

It is offered in eight sizes, to fit a bust measurement ranging from 28-30 inches (71-76 cm) to 56-58 inches (142-147 cm). The design is meant to be worn with around 6.3 inches/16 cm of negative ease, but you can choose the fit you prefer. There’s also optional bust and waist shaping included in the pattern if you want to make it even curvier.

This is considered an advanced beginner or intermediate project because of all the skills involved, but it’s sure to be a lot of fun even if some of these techniques are new to you.
