Decorative items created with our own hands add beauty, warmth and comfort to the interior of our home. This especially applies to knitted products: tablecloths, napkins, bedspreads, blankets and crocheted pillows.
The last item can be used not only for decoration, but also for its intended purpose. And even a novice master can build it. Moreover, products can have not only a strictly rectangular shape, but also the shape of a star and a circle.
Let's look at the creation of this decor using several examples.
How to knit a star pillow
This decor of an unusual shape will wonderfully decorate not only your room, but also the children's room. It can be done in several ways:
- Five-pointed star;
- Multi-pointed star.
Both options look great both in a single color and in a variegated color. Therefore these 
variations can be used to eliminate excess yarn.
Five-pointed
To make it, you will need yarn of medium thickness (300 m/100 g).
Completing of the work
- Make a chain of 8 sts. p. and close it in a circle.
- Continue knitting according to pattern 1.
Scheme 
1
- Create two parts in the same way.
- Connect the elements along the contour with a piping row made in a “crawfish step”, without knitting the side of the last ray.
- fill the workpiece with filler (sintepon, cotton wool, foam rubber, etc.) and finish tying.
Multibeam
This variation is performed similarly, but according to scheme 2 below.
Scheme 2
Reference! For permanent use, it is better to place the filling in a sewn cover, and use the knitted version as a pillowcase.
How to knit a case with a square pattern
A decorative item can be made not only as a single piece, but also consist of individual elements, for example, squares.

To work, you will need material of two colors, a hook, and filler.
Process of creation
- For one piece, knit five dark squares and four light ones, connecting them together in the last row.
- Do the second part in the same way.
- Sew two pieces together, leaving one edge unsewn.
- Install a fastener on the unstitched side: zipper, snaps or buttons.
- Place the resulting cover on the pillow.
Attention! Use yarn of the same thickness. Otherwise, the product will lose its attractive appearance.
How to knit a round pillow
Another variation in the shape of a circle is also most often used by craftswomen to create a variety of decorative elements, including cushion covers.
To implement it, you need to take thin yarn, preferably cotton (500 m/100 g) and a hook.

Completing of the work
- Tie a chain from the 18th century. p. and close it into a ring.
- Next, knit the fabric according to the pattern.
- Make two parts in a similar way.
- Connect the parts by tying them along the contour with a border, but do not tie a small section.
- Place the pillow inside the cover through the unknitted hole.
- Finish the border.
Reference. The item will be more interesting if the overall color of the pillow and the color of the yarn contrast with each other.
