Nine Patch Throw & Pillows

If you're looking for a quick and rewarding knitting project, this easy-to-knit throw is the perfect choice! Not only does it make a wonderful gift, but it's also an ideal way to utilize yarn you may have fallen out of love with. Pair it with a couple of coordinating pillows, and you'll be all set for cozy winter evenings wrapped in warmth and style.

Inspired by classic nine patch quilting patterns, these pieces work up quickly and effortlessly. By weaving in ends as you go, finishing your project becomes a simple and enjoyable task! All three pieces in this pattern are designed to be worked modularly, allowing you to build one square off the next seamlessly. Easy-to-follow diagrams are included to illustrate the order and direction that the squares are worked, making this a perfect project for both beginners and experienced knitters alike.

Some blocks feature charming simple squares of garter stitch, while others utilize mitered blocks, also worked in garter stitch, to add a dynamic flair. The yarn recommended for this project is a long repeat gradient, which adds a beautiful, flowing color transition to your finished pieces. Don't have gradient yarn on hand? No worries—feel free to use two or more solid colors to create your very own unique gradient fade that matches your home décor.

This delightful throw requires 6 balls (653 yards/597 meters) of yarn, while the square pillow needs 3 balls (345 yards/315 meters) and the neck roll requires 2 balls (219 yards/200 meters). With this easy pattern, you'll not only enhance your knitting skills but also create stylish, functional décor that’s perfect for winter snugness. Get started on your next favorite project today!
