Fluctuating over a garter-block pillow, shades of saffron, orange, coral and grape in Silk Garden Lite colorway #2125 juxtapose the fuchsia, black and aqua tones of colorway #2087. A quartet of mitered triangles form each square, playing up the color contrast in alternating striped and solid panels. After the squares have been assembled for the front and back, stitches are picked up around each piece’s outer edge and joined with a three-needle bind-off.

Note: People tend to question the amount of yarn needed for this pillow. We’ve confirmed it is correct. It is a BIG pillow and both sides are knit. --KFI
