This pillow is constructed in one solid piece using intarsia knitting and only two colors. It is knit by starting with the bottom of the front of the pillow and ending with the bottom of the back of the pillow. The three open sides are then mattress stitched together at the end around a pillow form.

I had originally designed this pillow in hot pink for my daughters room, but i liked it so much a made another for myself in cream and red. I hope you enjoy knitting this project as much as i did!
