Some more school-spirit themed pillows. Go Hoos!
Three pillows -- lettered fronts, you can do any pattern on the back. I did a solid blue, a solid orange and blue/orange/white stripes.
It took quite a while to find the right UVa colors -- these are paintbox Simply Chunky Blood Orange (4-6 skeins) and Knit Picks Might Stitch Bulky Navy (8 skeins). The white is Paintbox Simply Chunky Paper White. I had some yarn left over.
These pillows wound up about 16” square but gauge isn’t critical. You also need pillow forms and zippers (i found on amazon).
Finally, the pillows are joined wrong-sides together doing a single crochet all around (Except for where zipper goes).
