6 Home Décor Knitting Patterns to Gift or Keep

These farmhouse decor knitting patterns definitely have a place in your home.
Join us at Maker Festivals Colorado, the ultimate crafting extravaganza in Loveland from April 10-13, 2024, where the beloved Yarn Fest evolves with an exciting addition of beads and jewelry artists!

These six knitting patterns will add a polished yet rustic vibe to your home, with or without shiplap walls. Customized, handmade textiles will not only look incredible, since they’re made to your exact specifications, but they will fill you with pride whenever you survey your domain or show off to discerning guests. Plus, these are gifts that work up fast. Who else in your life needs the DIY look?

1. Kitchen Dish Towels from Quick + Easy Knits

Knit yourself two gorgeous, coordinating kitchen towels to breathe new life into your kitchen. Use gray and white as your backdrop, then choose the accent color that best matches your décor. These towel knitting patterns use a combination of garter and plush seed stitch for lots of absorbency and wonderful drape. Just as functional as they are displayable, you may find that your other dish towels start spending a lot more time in the drawer.


2. Priscilla’s Heirloom Curtains from Interweave Knits Summer 2001

These handknit curtains are so rustic, we even photographed them in a barn! This surprisingly simple stitch pattern allows you to create custom curtains to fit whatever windows are currently undressed or underdressed in your home.


These coaster knitting patterns are so cute and can match any decor.

3. Hobnail Coasters and Park Lane Coaster and Trivet Set from Interweave Knits Spring 2016

These two coaster sets each have a very different vibe, but either would make a fun accent for a farmhouse kitchen. The Hobnail Coasters have a bobble and picot pattern inspired by vintage hobnail milk-glass pieces, with a smooth place to set your mug right in the center. The Park Lane set takes inspiration from vintage dish and china sets of the 1920s, using the jade and peachy pink art deco color palette popular at the time. Either of these farmhouse décor knitting patterns, though, can be worked in colors to perfectly match your own palette.

4. Cask Baskets from knitscene Accessories 2015

You can never have too much storage, and these fun, soft baskets are the perfect handmade surface-topper for a farmhouse-inspired home. Sturdy, stackable, and customizable to your décor, these baskets work up incredibly quickly in a t-shirt yarn. Designer Xandy Peters Yarn HiKoo by skacel Tee Cakes


You can customize this handknit wall hanging with any phrase you like.

5. Knit a Bit Wall Hanging from knitscene Accessories 2015

Inspiring phrases displayed as art is a big part of the farmhouse décor trend. This hand-knitted wall hanging is a fun, knitter-specific variation on the theme. Choose your own colors and phrase, using the included stranded colorwork alphabet chart, and knit up this rustic sampler-style wall hanging to display in pride of place.


This textured handknit pillow knits up quickly and fits in with any decor.

6. Textured Throw Pillow from Quick + Easy Knits

If you want to add a bit of high impact, rustic décor in a hurry, try this easy pillow knitting pattern worked in a super bulky yarn. The pattern uses only knit and purl stitches to create all that texture, and the pattern is just a two-row repeat, so you’ll have it memorized right away.

I love the farmhouse décor trend for its focus on craftsmanship and the DIY aesthetic. I also despise it a little bit because, too often, that DIY aesthetic really is just a veneer to mask the mass-produced. Infuse some authentic, handmade items into your design, such as these gorgeous décor knitting patterns, and make your house really feel like home.

Yours in Stitches,

Andrea
