Hey everyone! Here is a companion pillow to go with your finger knit blankets. 1 skein will get you up to a 16 x 16 pillow. Yes, this yarn is machine and drier safe! Hope you enjoy the video. xx
@@stacimcintire5571 it might. It’s awfully dense material so it will stay in place if it’s a gentle cycle but adding a stitch with a needle and thread wouldn’t hurt. I’ve shown how I do this in the accompanying blanket video . ruclips.net/video/Gr-a15uJaoY/видео.html (5:56)
Oh my gosh... I so wish I could HUG you! My first blanket came out so nice and now I will make the pillow to match. I sent a photo to my baby sister to show her the blanket that I had made and she loved it so much that I told her she can have it but I'm going to surprise her for her birthday in a few days and gift this blanket to her with a matching pillow. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!❤️
out of all the many videos I’ve watched to learn how to finger knit, your video taught me how to finger knit my new Queen size blanket ❤thank you for your detailed directions!! 😃
I loved this. Thank you so much...I made one for a 18 x 18 size pillow..came out great and I weaved the yarn in last side and tied it at end in case my daughter needed to was it later for my grandson. Can't thank you enough
just made my first pillow using ur video it came out so good besides some mistakes i made on my own! very straightforward video and easy to understand! (my mistake was making my first and last set of loops different sizes)
You make this look so easy! I have some bulky yarn and I am totally going to make a pillow for my daughter! She will love it! Thanks for the great video!
Honestly,it is as easy as she makes it look that is why she is such a good teacher. Some people make it look so complicated when in fact it is so simple! This literally becomes addicting.❤️
I have two questions. Can you change the colour of the pillow like a pattern (in my case spots) and did you need to rolls of yarn to make the pillow or just one as you should at the start?
I’m confused. When you begin the second of the last three sides, where did your new yarn come from? If the first one had extra after weaving the side closed, you tucked the extra through the pillow correct? Then you transitioned to the second of the three sides to close the pillow. However, if we used all the extra yarn and tucked it into the pillow on the last side where is your new yarn coming from in the video as you begin closing up the second of the last three sides of the pillow? Please help.
If you notice , I say to cut about “two lengths “ of yarn and then you see me snip it so I can seam the first side. I still have more yarn. I have enough to seam the remaining 2 sides . Just repeat the process. Cut your yarn twice the length of the side you’ll be seaming . 👍🏻💕
Ok. I may have cut before double checking my length. Can I fix this by tying a knot attaching my remaining yarn connected to the pillow to my ball of yarn?@@PlayHookywithMe
I am making a few pillows for my daughter’s teachers. This is the first time making these and was wondering if you could do a zoom meeting to see if I’m doing this right and also do I cut the rag off from the pillow. Do I use the tag side for the width or the length? Please get back to me ASAP. These need to be done by next week. My daughter graduates elementary school so I need these to be done by the 22nd. Thank in advance.
Which tag are you referring to? I’ve never used zoom before . You can send me a photo by email or Instagram to speak more quickly. Insta: playhookywithme Rozfulcher@gmail.com
Just made this a few days ago. I ended up needing another half skein and it’s a little wonky (I struggled with the side seams but that’s on me, not the instructor!) but I love it.
Hi, Thank you for your video, first time I’ve finger knitted and Delighted with my cushion cover. Still thinking about large buttons, (came up larger but I had another cushion insert ) Would you have anything on video for the corners? As I have about a 1/4 yarn left as i bought an extra ball. I’ve just ordered some of the baby blanked yarn im getting more confident now Thank you so much x
You can try a knotless join: ruclips.net/video/XdxBT94Bhq8/видео.htmlsi=pae_6NSmjmgvf9zw (3 minute mark) Or a magic knot. 3 minutes in… ruclips.net/video/Gr-a15uJaoY/видео.htmlsi=BRDeokTpMEj1gFPC ❤️
Maybe if your loops are tight enough . Instead, I would recommend you take a pillowcase and put your fluff in there. It will work like a pillow insert and hold all the fluff together. You can fold the excess pillow case over itself to keep it inside (or cut/sew it if you feel comfortable doing that) . 💕
Mine has come up much bigger, think I’ve done it too loose, had to order another ball ..made it a bit expensive Lesson learnt ☹️ Can you give some help,ideas with buttons as I’m thinking I quite fancy buttons ( please) 😄
I like over sized buttons that are wooden. I’d check Amazon . Just be sure to measure the gaps in your stitches to make sure the buttons are big enough . The yarn stretches so it can be easy for them to slip out 💕
I just put them in my washer on a low temp gentle cycle . The same with the drier. I haven’t had any issues. The pillow I would recommend the same thing. If you have any concerns with the pillow cover getting tangled I would suggest using a linen bag made for the washer to put it in. Hope that helps
Hey all! Question. First of all, I love this tutorial! I'm just struggling with one part. Why does my pillow cover seem like it won't fit end to end, but when I add more rows to make the ends reach each other, the cover becomes super loose? I keep finishing with a fish net over my pillow. Lol.
You probably don’t need that many rows. Go back to where you think it won’t fit and then squeeze your insert in. Remember this yarn has a lot of stretch to it. 👍🏻
Hi! I came across your video and I'm so excited to try this project next! I like the idea of adding buttons to help keep it closed, but am not experienced with sewing and don't know how to incorporate that into the pillow. Do you have a suggested tutorial, or have you possibly created a tutorial to go over how to add a button(s)? Thank you so much!!
I don’t have anything where I show how to add buttons so I would recommend that you watch my other videos on how to add stitches 🧵 to the tails or dropped stitches in my tip video : ruclips.net/video/XdxBT94Bhq8/видео.html and then find a generic video on how to add a button to crochet. You don’t need to create a button hole , you’ll just use a gap on the opposite side of the button as one to hold the edge together. You’ll need a big buttom 💕🧶 That’s a good question- I’ll remember it for my next tip video ❤️
You might just have a tighter tension . If you don’t have enough yarn to go wider then I recommend you get a 10x 10 insert and see how that works for you 💕
I don’t think so on a gentle wash and dry but you could always add a little stitch in areas. I share how to do this on the blanket video at 5:56. ruclips.net/video/Gr-a15uJaoY/видео.html
@@PlayHookywithMe Thank you very much for sharing! I thoroughly enjoy all your tutorials...I recently did a C2C graphgan, for my youngest grandson, which I increased the size but failed to allow an additional 9 rows at the beginning...but seeing your tutorial on joining the mini/small C2C I was able to increase the one side that was needed to balance the afghan...so a greatly huge THANK YOU!!!! 😊
I’m using a deep burgundy color. You can’t really see that it is knitted. Is that due to the color I chose or do I need to tweak something in my knitting? Thanks.
where did you get your pillows? me and my friend are making pillows for christmas and we wanna know how much cause we’re broke highschoolers and too young to get jobs. also if we can’t buy pillows, could we stuff them with poly-fil or any sort of pillow stuffing?
Yes you can do that . Just be aware that the cotton inside your insert might get clumpy. If you have an old pillow , wash and dry it first (as an experiment) to see what I mean 💕

Sorry, I mean the four corners of the cushion, thinking yarn to big for tassels, just trying to think of something to add to it as I have wool left x
@@dawn2424 ahhh I see . That’s a lovely idea on the tassels . 👏🏻🧶
You do amazing job I love ❤️ everything that you make
That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you so much 🥰
Very good video you have a great way of explaining things. God bless you.
Thank you 😀🧶💕
Cab you do a video of how to make two on the same string? Because I sae they were connected
Yes, I’ve seen that before via RUclips tutorials. Have you tried using those videos?
Sorry to be a pain, I need to add new ball of yarn to row I’m near end off but ran out, do you have a video showing how ? please x

Do you think it’d be possible to stuff this with fluff to make it its own pillow instead of using a pillow insert?
Maybe if your loops are tight enough . Instead, I would recommend you take a pillowcase and put your fluff in there. It will work like a pillow insert and hold all the fluff together.
You can fold the excess pillow case over itself to keep it inside (or cut/sew it if you feel comfortable doing that) .

Hi, would you mind explaining how to wash this kind of pillow? thanks all
This yarn is washer and dryer safe 🧶💕
Follow the instructions on your yarn label. I wash and dry using gentle cycles
Thank you for your blanket tutorial! So helpful to my niece and I. How do you wash the blanket and/or this pillow? Our blankets are large - 10 skeins.
I just put them in my washer on a low temp gentle cycle . The same with the drier. I haven’t had any issues. The pillow I would recommend the same thing. If you have any concerns with the pillow cover getting tangled I would suggest using a linen bag made for the washer to put it in. Hope that helps
My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
Thank you so much 😀💕
I did both projects. Mine is not as even as yours, so mine is kina ugly. But, it's the thought that counts, right?
I’m sure it’s better than you think. Mine came out a little wonky too. These are hand made - it gives them charm, I say 💕
Mine came out ugly, too. I think her knit is tighter than mine.

You probably don’t need that many rows. Go back to where you think it won’t fit and then squeeze your insert in. Remember this yarn has a lot of stretch to it. 👍🏻

Do you mean making a pillow with the sides joining as you make it?
Excellent instructions

How do you change colors
Does the second square have to be attached to the same string as the first one?
No , you can make them separately if you like
Thanks :)
No matter how many times I make this I can’t get it to fit a 12”x12” pillow. What am I doing wrong?
You might just have a tighter tension . If you don’t have enough yarn to go wider then I recommend you get a 10x 10 insert and see how that works for you 💕
Looks easy enough!
But if you were to wash it, wouldn't it come undone?

It’s probably just the darker color camouflaging the look of your stitches. It’s hard to know for sure without seeing it.

Great video! How many inches are the chain loops and then the loops of rest of pillow?
The chains are about 2.5 -3 inches and the loops are approximately 1.5 inches.

Is it possible to make an initial like an L in middle of the pillow
Yes, you can embroider your pillow 👍🏻💕

Great 😀❤️
Can you use thinner yarn?
Yes you can , it’s just a little more fiddly to do 🧶👍🏻
Amazing 👍
Thank you !
Is it 16.6 oz or 16.6 inch on your link to buy the yarn?? Probably silly question. Sorry 🤭😊
Love it tho!!! 💝
One skein will make a 16 inch x 16 inch pillow . Hope that helps .
