I’m a sucker for tweed yarns and love classic patterns like houndstooth and herringbone. This pillow is worked in the round using stranded color knitting, working the houndstooth pattern on one half of the pillow, and the herringbone pattern on the remaining half. The crab stitch crochet edging closes both open ends and adds a classic “corded” edging along all sides.
Easy to customize with your own choice of colors, this pillow would look equally stylish in the current trendy home decorating colors as well as in graphic black and white. Sew the ends together and omit the crochet edge for a less formal look.
