Cosy Home Decor Ideas – Knits to Warm Your Space
September is the time when evenings draw in, lights come on earlier, and our homes become the heart of comfort again. Knitting is not only a hobby but also a wonderful way to shape that cosiness. This week’s blog focuses on small, achievable projects that make your living space welcoming for the season ahead.
My featured Pattern of the Week is the Drawstring Pouches Knitting Pattern, with 20% off until Monday using code LITTLEBAGS20 - these little knitted pouches and drawstring bags for oganised storage. Alongside them we’ll look at at the leaves and stars for decoration, and knitted sunflowers to brighten windowsills.
Pattern of the Week: Knitted Drawstring Bags
Special offer: enjoy 20% off this pattern until Monday with code LITTLEBAGS20. Perfect for anyone wanting to start autumn projects early.
Pattern includes options for rectangular or round pouches in different sizes, with holes to thread through your little drawstring ties. Colour code your little knitted storage bags for easy organisation!
Knitted Leaves Compliment Your Designs and Style
The Leaves Knitting Pattern offers five styles of leaf in multiple sizes. They are quick, decorative and versatile. Scatter them across a dining table, string them into a garland, or frame a selection in a box frame for wall art. With small amounts of DK yarn you can create natural autumnal colours or experiment with bold hues for a modern twist.
Stars for a Sparkle Indoors
The Star Knitting Pattern creates simple five-pointed stars that can be used as hanging decorations, bunting, or embellishments on cushions. Knit a set in white or cream for subtlety, or go bold with metallic or bright yarns. They’re lightweight, quick to complete, and a charming way to bring character into a room.
Sunflowers for a Burst of Colour
Even as days grow shorter, a knitted sunflower keeps the brightness of summer alive. The Sunflower Knitting Pattern is ideal for window displays or for framing as a piece of cheerful art. They also make wonderful gifts and can be combined with leaves for an autumn-meets-summer arrangement.
Finishing Touches for Home Projects
Adding knitted decor around the home is about more than just the object itself. Consider how you finish and display each piece:
- Use natural displays: place knitted leaves in a glass bowl or scatter across a mantelpiece for a seasonal touch.
- Layer textures: mix knitted baskets with woven trays, ceramic vases or candles for variety.
- Think vertically: hang stars in windows or from curtain poles to draw the eye upward.
- Mix colours: pair bright sunflowers with neutral leaves for contrast and balance.
