Two cushion covers inspired by two classic Hitchcock films: Dial M for Murder and The Birds. Knit intarsia style, the front of the pillows are knit with a chart, and the reverse of the pillows are knit in two different rectangular-type repeats for extra appeal so you can turn the pillows around depending on your mood. Seaming and adding a zipper at the bottom gives a professional looking finish.
