Materials Needed

Yarn: Super bulky, oversized chunky yarn in pastel pink, mint green, and lavender
Needles: 25mm circular knitting needles
Pillow Insert: 20x20 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On

Begin by using the long-tail cast-on method to cast on 30 stitches with the pastel pink yarn. Ensure your stitches are even and not too tight, as this will affect the overall look of your pillow.

2. Knit the Front Panel

Now, let's create the front panel of your pillow:

Row 1-10: Knit all stitches (garter stitch) using the pastel pink yarn. This will form the first section of your pillow.
Switch to Mint Green: After completing Row 10, change to mint green yarn.
Row 11-20: Continue to knit all stitches (garter stitch) using the mint green yarn.
Switch to Lavender: After completing Row 20, change to lavender yarn.
Row 21-30: Knit all stitches (garter stitch) with the lavender yarn. This completes the front panel of your pillow.

3. Knit the Back Panel

Repeat the same steps as above to create the back panel:

Cast on 30 stitches with pastel pink yarn.
Knit Rows 1-10 with pastel pink.
Switch to mint green for Rows 11-20.
Switch to lavender for Rows 21-30.

4. Assembly

Now it's time to put your pillow together:

Place the front and back panels together with the right sides facing each other.
Using the lavender yarn, sew three sides of the pillow using a whip stitch. Make sure your stitches are tight enough to hold the fabric together but not so tight that they pucker.
Carefully insert the pillow form into the opening.
Finish by sewing the remaining side closed with a whip stitch.

5. Finishing

Your pillow is almost complete! Follow these final steps:

Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle to ensure a clean finish.
Fluff the pillow and adjust the stitches to ensure evenness across the surface.

Congratulations! You’ve created a beautiful Chunky Boho Chic Pastel Pillow that will add a touch of warmth and style to your home. Enjoy your new cozy decor piece, and don’t hesitate to experiment with different colors and textures in your next project!
