Cushion, Throw, Tea Cosy & Hot Water Bottle Cover Knitted in King Cole Fjord DK

What Is Being Made

This downloadable PDF pattern from King Cole provides instructions for creating four coordinated knitted accessories: a cushion, throw blanket, tea cosy, and hot water bottle cover. All pieces are designed to be knitted from the same yarn, allowing crafters to create a matching set of home accessories or select individual projects based on their preferences and skill level.

Craft & Primary Techniques

This is a knitting project classified as intermediate difficulty. The pattern requires fundamental knitting skills and familiarity with reading knitting instructions and abbreviations. Crafters will need to understand tension work and be comfortable following multi-row stitch patterns to successfully complete any of these accessories.

Stitches Used

• Stocking Stitch (St-st) – The primary stitch used throughout the pattern, created by alternating knit rows on the right side with purl rows on the wrong side to produce a smooth, classic fabric
• Ribbed Stitch – A combination of knit and purl stitches worked in a 2x2 pattern (k2, p2) used for edging and structural details
• Increases (inc) – Used to shape pieces where additional stitches are required
• Decreases (dec) – Used to reduce stitch counts and shape the finished accessories

Materials & Specifications

This pattern is designed for King Cole Fjord DK yarn, a double knit weight yarn. The recommended needle size is 4 mm, though the exact size may vary depending on individual tension. The pattern specifies a tension of 22 stitches and 28 rows to 10 centimetres (4 inches) over stocking stitch on 4 mm needles. Achieving the correct tension is essential for obtaining the proper finished dimensions of each accessory.
