The Townes Pillow features a beautiful five-color gradient created from a rainfall of stranded colorwork transitions. Choose from an elegant neutral, soothing blue, lively green, or even vibrant red/orange palette to fit any decor.

For a limited time, this design is available as a Project Kit featuring Lamana Como.

Construction
Pillow is worked circularly in one piece, from end to end. Top and sides are sewn, and a zipper is attached at bottom. The Townes Patterns may be worked either from charts or written directions. Read all chart rounds from right to left.
