What a brilliant tutorial. You explain everything so clearly. I've been wanting to try knitting cushion covers so this video is perfect. I'll be checking all your other videos too. Thank you x

[@hollowillow]

Thank you for being so clear in all of your videos, even linking the pillow you used, the yardage needed, video breakpoints, etc :) I can't wait to try making this!

[@frankjeanjones5278]

So easy to follow. Cannot wait o start.

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yayy! I hope you enjoy knitting it!

[@HandiworksbyClyne]

It would be nice to have a cabled blanket partnered with this beautiful pillow cover.

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Great thinking! I will definitely add that one to the list for future videos!

[@HandiworksbyClyne]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Thank you. I will watch out for that. GOD BLESS.

[@jgread5716]

I love this pattern and would like to incorporate it into a blanket that I'm making but I'm not finding the written instructions. Could you help please?

[@irenemccormick4016]

Love pattern can you tell me how to increase size to fit 18x18 cushion

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Sure! To scale it up to an 18" pillow, I would add 3 stitches to each side. So when casting on, cast on 50 stitches, then instead of starting and ending with Purl 9, you would start and end with Purl 12. Lastly I would knit until it measures 37" instead of 34".

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

@laura roberts Hi Laura - I would recommend counting the number of stitches in each section to determine which one has one stitch too many. You should have 9 purl stitches, 9 knit stitches, 8 purl stitches, 9 knit stitches, and then 9 purl stitches (or the opposite depending on which way you are looking at your work). To determine if it is a purl stitch, look just below the knitting needle, if there is a bump, thats a purl stitch, if there is a flat v that is a knit stitch. Let me know which section the extra stitch is in - and I can tell you a way to fix it!

[@leighvisser7716]

Hi there, new knitter here and this may be a bit of an ambitious first project but here we go! Love your video, feeling confident :) I'm wondering if you could please help me out with what the pattern would be for a 22" square pillow if I wanted 3 cables? Thank you!

[@turkishdelight52]

Love this tutorial! Could I do this with medium-weight yarn and size 5 or 6mm needles? How would the pattern go with that?

[@myhappyspace4533]

Thanks so much

[@nandaninawarathna-cy7er]

Thank you!

[@j.c.6063]

Great tutorial! Very clear and easy to follow. Two questions: if your pillow is bigger or smaller, can you adjust the pattern to fit and how?

[@TheGreennblue]

Thank you so much for this video. I was wondering if this pattern could be modified to be 3 cables instead of 2 and to fit an 18" pillow form?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yes, you could definitely do that! I would cast on 49 stitches, then do P6, Knit 9 (Cable), P5, Knit 9 (Cable), P5, Knit 9 (Cable), P6 - hope that helps!

[@TheGreennblue]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Yes, thank you!

[@cookingcrochetcraze6708]

Nice

[@sandragreen5199]

Great tutorial! I'd like to make a super chunky pillow cover. What yarn would you recommend?

[@marinapenoni]

Loved the pattern so much!! Could You please tell me if can i do it without cable needles? (Actually if can i do it with normal needles) thanks

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

So glad you liked it! It can be a little tricky to do without a cable needle. In place of a cable needle you could use a double pointed needle if you have one. Alternatively there is a way to cable without a cable needle, where you just let the stitches hang off the needle - it is a bit trickier, but can be done! This is a great video showing that technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmHXe6mmichkhZo

[@mogolastreet]

Hi! Would you recommand this cushion for a first knitting project please? I am a crocheter and I really want to learn how to knit!

[@lavieestbelle2677]

Personally I recommend because it’s simple

[@tammyr.3882]

How would you change this for a 12x16 pillow cover? Maybe with one cable going side to side?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

To make it 12" wide with one center cable instead of 16" I would switch the pattern to be 12 stitches on either side of the center cable. To change the pattern to match this, it would read: Row 1:P12, K8, P12 Row 2 would be K12, P8, K12 . . . Row 5: P12, Left Cable, K3, P12 I hope that helps!

[@tammyr.3882]

Thank you so much. I am having so much trouble with this. I've ripped it out about 15 times lol. I'm using #6 yarn that suggests 8mm needle. Your yarn doesn't look as bulky. I'm a new knitter so my mistakes are frequent :) thank you so much

[@HandiworksbyClyne]

I totally love this!!! Can I knit this using bulky cotton? But I think bulky cotton will stretch out in time?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Yeah you could definitely knit it out of cotton! I wouldn't worry too much about stretching over time. I keep mine on our living room couch and the yarn I used has stretched out a bit, but the nice thing is you can tighten it up by adjusting which cable the button goes through!

[@HandiworksbyClyne]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Thank you for the time to respond. 💖 GOD BLESS. If it's possible, can you also teach us how to knit a beginner skirt? I've been looking for a pattern but it's all crocheted, vintage-intermediate level, etc.

[@tammyr.3882]

Hi there. I bought Bernat yarn #6 which requires an 8mm needle. Mine is measuring 19 inches wide. Too large for a 16 x 16 pillow. Am I doing something wrong?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi - no you are likely doing everything right - just different knitters knit with different yarn tensions which creates variations in size! Based off of the dimensions you are getting - I would recommend casting on fewer stitches to get your yarn and needles down to 16". I would remove 2 stitches in each of the non-cable sections so then you have a total of 38 stitches instead of 44. The rows would be modified as follows: Row 1: P7, K9, P6, K9, P7 Row 2: K7, P9, K6, P9, K7 . . . Row 5: P7, Left Cable, K3, P6, Left Cable, K3, P7

How do I get the written pattern of this have clicked everywhere and doesn’t work for me

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi Liz - were you able to get it from the email? Here is the direct link: drive.google.com/file/d/1x50V-2hhdD1ZJY28Y6yo9Im6PCbGQdpu/view

[@sarahmcguire8693]

Can any type of Soft chunky yarn work well or must it be the Barnet Soft Chunky ? I am struggling to source it ! Can you recommend any alternative brands of yarn that work as well ?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi - Any type of soft chunky yarn would work! You just want to look for one that is labeled as a Super Bulky Yarn (#6) and recommends around a US 13 (9 mm). A few popular ones are Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick, or Bernat Blanket!

[@gianny2977]

How long do you think it would take an average knitter to do this? How many hours? Thanks!

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Tough question! I would say if someone knit for a bit each day about 2 weeks

[@Qalb-e-bano]

How many stitches for 8mm needle

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! it depends what you knitting gauge is when knitting with your yarn and needles. I would recommend knitting a small swatch - cast on 12 or so stitches and knit for about 4". Then measure how wide the 12 stitches are. Once you know 10 stitches = X", it can be scaled up to the pillow size of X stitches = 16". Hope that helps!

[@Qalb-e-bano]

@@KnittingHouseSquare thanks

[@chautran4086]

What is the gauge per. 10 cm × 10 cm of the pillowcase?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Hi! My gauge was 10 stitches x 16 rows = 10 x 10 cm

[@chautran4086]

@@KnittingHouseSquare Can I use any types of super bulky yarn?

[@foofy3]

I love the yarn you're using! Did you get it from a local yarn shop?

[@KnittingHouseSquare]

Thank you! I purchased this yarn from AC Moore. Unfortunately they do not list a lot of their yarn online, so I am not able to link to it with the other materials
