Description:
A Wavy Granny Pillow is a two-color crochet pillow worked in alternating stripes of contrasting colors, featuring a rhythmic wavy stitch pattern.
The stitch pattern is based on the classic Granny stitch, but with a little twist, it gives the fabric more texture and fewer holes.
The pattern describes a buttoned flap over a pillowcase and includes instructions for making a pillowcase without a flap.
This pillow pairs well with the Wavy Granny Blanket.
