Showcase the beautiful colors of Lion Brand Mandala yarn with this simple pillow. Single crochet stitches in the back loop only create beautiful corduroy-like texture. Luscious fringe makes closing the sides of the pillow a breeze.

Pattern Notes
The pillow is all single crochet stitches in the back loop only in US terms. The yarn is cut after each row, and new yarn is joined to begin the next row. A 6” (15 cm) yarn tail at the start and end of each row create fringe that is knotted to close the sides of the pillow.
