DETAILS
I recently moved across the country and was so excited to decorate our new home! We bought new furniture and the couch in particular was in desperate need of throw pillows. I had planned on going to Target or Marshall’s to buy some- which I did but I couldn’t find any that fit the look I was going for. So I kept looking but eventually came to realize that the pillows I was looking for probably just didn’t exist. So I made one!
I was wanting a pillow with dreamy texture, soft yarn, and versatile style. The Trellis stitch is just the texture I was looking for, the Big Twist Hush yarn is exactly what I had in mind, and both came together to be the perfect addition to our living room! I’ve even thought about making a couple to throw on our bed and I will definitely be making more as Christmas gifts this year.
The Wheaton Pillow is a beginner friendly pillow cover. It’s perfect for your own home decor, market prep, and gift knitting. It is knit in two panels then crocheted together to seam. The front panel is textured and the back is stockinette stitch. There are also alternate instructions to do a traditional, non-crochet seam.
If you want to make some modifications you can easily make two “front” panels for double texture, or just the stockinette “back” side for a simple and timeless pillow.
