Portis Pillow
Add a bit of graphic fun to any space—indoors or out. The minimal use of offset squares to create a striped pattern brings this stranded colorwork pillow cover to life.
For a limited time, this design is available as a Project Kit featuring Lamana Como.
Construction
Pillow is worked circularly in one piece, from end to end. Top and sides are sewn, and a zipper is attached at bottom. The Portis Pattern may be worked either from chart or written directions.
