After spending a winter cuddled up under my Bohemian Afghan, I decided that matching pillows would be a lovely addition.

I have also been trying to have less impact on the environment by repurposing items that have outlasted their usefulness. In this case, I decided to cover old pillows in the Bohemian design. If you do not have any old pillows that could use a makeover, you can also use a pillow form available at any craft store.

Like the Bohemian afghan, this pillow is colorful and mindless knitting. It requires not a single purl stitch and can be made from whatever scrap worsted weight yarn you have sitting around.

The pattern is 5 pages and includes phototutorials showing how to complete a crochet cast-on and 3-needle bind off. This pattern is suitable for a beginning knitter.
