Pattern Notes

When working the Intarsia front of the pillow, you can either work from the color chart, or the printer-friendly symbols chart. If you’re not using the same colors as the pattern, the symbols chart also allows you to print out the chart and use colored pencils to shade in your own color palette.

Beginning with a Knit row, work the front of the pillow in Stockinette Stitch, using one of the colorwork charts below.

After Row 84, cast off. Weave in all yarn ends. Block piece to measurements; 14” x 14”.
