Basic C2C Throw Pillow
"My living room is so plain, and a little mismatched. I have really been wanting to add to it, and make it a little more cohesive and home-y, so I decided after the holiday custom order madness had passed that I was going to take some time to make something for my living room, and what better than some fun throw pillows constructed using a simple, basic pattern? The leftover yarn from the Henrietta Rug has been sitting in my stash, and so when I thought about these pillows, I decided to pull it out so the pillows would match the rug. Instructions available in 8 sizes!"
NotesMy two sample pillows were worked to fit 14″ and 16″ pillow forms, and respectively, I used 375 yards (202 grams), and 460 yards (248 grams).
