I used 2 full skeins of Vanna’s Choice in Linen, and 2 partial skeins of Vanna’s in Dusty Purple and Dusty Blue. The yarn is not important, as long as it is a medium (4) yarn.
A WHIMSICAL PILLOW
The idea for this pillow came about when I was looking for something fun and functional for my son’s nursery. The bobbles in different colors add a touch of whimsy to this pillow. One of my testers even did it in Christmas colors that made a great look for the holiday season.
The Zigzag Bobble Pillow is a choose your own adventure pattern. You can use the written pattern to make the pillow as pictured for a whimsical look, or you can pick and choose sections of the graph to make your own customized pillow. The Dotted Bobble Section looks a bit more modern when done on its own.
The Zigzag Bobble Pillow is perfect for any advanced beginner looking to learn a new stitch. It’s simple design allows you to finish it quickly and you can use the graph to customize it in anyway you wish.
