Create a Loom-Knit Pillow for Your Home

One of the easiest things to make on a round knitting loom is a tube, and that's exactly how you make this pillow! After knitting in the round, all you need to do is stitch the ends closed with a pillow form inside, then add large handmade tassels for a beautiful finish. If you'd rather work with flat panels (which requires more seaming), Simplicity includes instructions for that too.

You can also use this pattern as a starting point for making other pillows. Instead of using tassels as the main design element, try color blocking the knitting or adding someyarn embroidery!
