Pattern description from Interweave Knits: “These lively pillows were inspired by a photograph of a colorfully patterned floor in a home decor magazine. Mags was so taken with the folk art chicken that she’s used it as a knitted motif. Each pillow shows a different version of the toe-tapping chicken dancing against a vibrant striped background. The pillows close along the center backs with a row of buttons.”

Finished Size: About 16” (40.5 cm) square
