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.

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.

Fall will be here before we know it, and that means there are holidays coming right behind where we might be entertaining at home. It’s always fun to have a hand knit touch in your home for other people to see, and if you’re going to be in the kitchen all day you might as well have some nice knit dish cloths to use.

I love this little plaid hand towel from Darling Jadore. Use a little bit of leftover cotton yarn from another project for the plaid portion. It looks like the horizontal stripes are worked as you knit and the vertical stripes are done with duplicate stitch, making this a quick and easy project even newer knitters can make.

Combine garter stitch and an easy eyelet pattern worked sideways to make the Annette Dish Towel from Cluck Cluck Boots, which is meant to be reminiscent of flour sack towels. It calls for DK weight yarn and you can work it in one color or two (or even three!).

Add a little more texture with this set of kitchen towels from Whileberry Creative. They’re mostly worked in garter stitch with borders in easy knit/purl patterns, and you can work them in sport or worsted weight yarn.

Two of Wands Shop has another cute allover knit and purl pattern they call the Seersucker Textured Tea Towel. It’s an easy repeating pattern worked in worsted weight yarn, and there’s a chart in the pattern you can use, but don’t have to, if you want to practice knitting from a chart.

The Classic Cloth dish towel from Handmade Home by Connie is another one that can use a little leftover yarn in a contrasting color, or you could color block it our use stripes throughout the pattern. This one uses worsted weight yarn and another easy repeating knit purl stitch pattern.

If you like to hang your towel on the oven handle or elsewhere but it’s always falling off, try the Stay Put kitchen towel from Fancy Step Knits. This project is worked in garter stitch and includes a hole partway through so you can pull the towel through itself over a rod or handle. Stripes are optional but a nice addition.
