Story…
I was shown a very old vintage (100 years plus) heirloom blanket and asked to design a pattern to allow the current owner, who inherited it years ago, to make pillows to coordinate with the original.
This is what I designed. I am not sure yet if it coordinates with the owner’s blanket as I haven’t seen it since. Here’s hoping !!

The Pattern
US terminology.
This pattern gives you options to make a throw, a blanket, a pillowcase topper and a fun ‘Sun’ project.
All the projects look great when displayed with a contrasting colour underneath.

Instructions are based on Aran/worsted weight cotton. The pattern works in any weight but the measurements are listed for Aran/worsted.

The sun works well in fine crochet, as a taster for your main project.

4.5mm / US size 7 crochet hook.
Aran weight (cotton recommended ). One colour. Yarn use discussed in pattern.
1250g Aran for single bed without pillow section,
420g Aran weight cotton for each pillow case,
