Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in forest green, moss, and bark brown
• Needles: US Size 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Fiberfill: For stuffing the pillow
• Yarn needle: For sewing the pillow together

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Using the forest green yarn, cast on 40 stitches onto your US Size 8 knitting needles.
2. Garter Stitch Border: Work in garter stitch (knit every row) for 4 rows. This creates a neat border around the pillow.
3. Begin Leaf Motif: Switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and follow these instructions:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): Knit 2 stitches, then *yarn over (yo), knit 2 together (k2tog), knit 6 stitches; repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left, then knit 2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
4. Repeat Motif: Continue repeating Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 20 rows. Remember to alternate colors every 10 rows, using moss and bark brown for the leaf motifs.
5. Finish with Stockinette Stitch: After completing the leaf motif, work in stockinette stitch for 4 more rows using the forest green yarn.
6. Bind Off: Once you have completed the final rows, bind off all stitches to secure your work.
7. Sewing the Pillow: Fold the knitted piece in half to form a rectangle. Sew the sides together using a yarn needle, leaving one side open for stuffing.
8. Stuffing: Fill the pillow with fiberfill until it reaches your desired level of fluffiness.
9. Close the Pillow: Once stuffed, sew the final side closed securely, ensuring there are no gaps for the stuffing to escape.
