Dixie Pillow
Pattern description from Knitting Little Luxuries: “Worked in different weight yarns, the same pattern can produce two totally6 different pieces. This design uses the same chart as the Piper Purse on page 46, but here I have combined a textured boucle yarn with a smooth yarn to create a very beautiful, soft fabric that enhances the surface pattern of the cable twists.”

Yarn: Chunky weight (#5 Bulky) and worsted weight (#4 Medium)
