Pricing update: I have increased my prices to more accurately represent the work that has gone into the making of my patterns. All my patterns have increased in prices, however my newer designs have increased more than my old ones, as I feel I have learned a lot over the years and the quality of my newer designs is higher. The price listed reflects what I believe is fair for the work put into the design, however I understand that the price increases may be inaccessible to some and am offering some tiered discounts for those that need them.

A “Choose What You Pay” model is available for this pattern, allowing both financial accessibility and fair pricing. The buyer may pay what they are able while still valuing the hard work invested to create this design. Use the codes below in order to pay the price listed after each. Choose whichever price works best for you!

  • No Code – Full Price = $8.00 CAD
  • PK10 – 10% off = $7.20 CAD
  • PK20 – 20% off = $6.40 CAD
  • PK30 – 30% off = $5.60 CAD

I also offer a Buy 3, Get 1 Free discount! Add any 4 of my patterns to your cart, and use the code BUY3GET1 to get the 4th pattern free! Note: the free pattern will be the lowest priced pattern.

This design is for a pillow cover with two different textured sides. The front side is knit in stockinette with a center horizontal panel with some textured diamond shapes created using purl stitches. The back side is knit using the diamond brocade stitch. Both sides tie together with the diamond shapes and stitch patterns, hence the name the Facet Pillow! This design would work best with a solid, lighter colored yarn to really showcase the texture. The two sides will be knit up as separate squares and seamed together around a 16” x 16” pillow insert. Using Knit Picks Swish Bulky, this design works up in no time.

Size
Creates a pillow cover that is
approximately 16” x 16” (40 cm x 40 cm)
Note: the actual length measurement of
the pillow cover before putting it over the
pillow insert will be a bit less than 16” as it
is designed to have a little negative length

Yardage is an approximation. Different gauge will result in differences in yardage, but this is a good
estimate to go on!
