Use almost exactly one pound of yarn! This pattern is such a yarn suck but it turns out fantastic. Well worth the time it took to work up that stupid ruffle!

Making three of these pillows as presents for a couple girlfriends this holiday season, but HOLY GOD is this slow going. The pattern says 10 hours? I’m pretty sure I’ve been working on the ruffle for 10 hours. But it’s really looking awesome, so I’m sticking with it! Glad I’m starting early.
