Koigu Pillows
At last a use for my failed Koigu coat knitting. I decided to make the leftover pieces into pillows, even though I swore I wouldn't for a long time. Since we have the uber-shedding cat Popeye, I was afraid that knitted pillows would only look good for minutes and then be a cat hair magnet.
But these days, the overweight and farsighted Pops pauses in front of the couch, and then decides he will save that athletic feat for another day.
Still there may come a day when these pillows will need a bath, so when it came to sewing them up, I bypassed the standard mattress stitch, of which I am no fan, and chose instead to single crochet the edges together. Now when I want to wash the covers, I can merely undo the single crochet from one edge and pop out the pillow forms.
The single crocheted edge.
Well, isn't that clever!
ReplyDeleteLovely save there. ;-)
These look so fun and happy! What a great use for these -- better than a coat, I'm sure. And the single crochet method is very clever! I guess it's your Knitting Escape Hatch!
