Two Become One is the perfect wedding gift! This striking pillow features Barbara Walker’s classic entwined tree motif, symbolizing the union of marriage and growth. The back is made in two pieces in simple stockinette punctuated by large buttons, making this pillow cover completely removable and washable. The chart has been updated and colored for easy reading. Written instructions are also given. Two gauges and yarn suggestions make a 14” or 18” square pillow.
To achieve a sturdy fabric suitable for long-wear, yarn is knit to a firm tension. If you are using alternative yarns to make gauge, be it held double or single strand, it is important that the fabric is tight and a bit stiff. Hardy wools such as Briggs and Little, as well as acrylic blends, are ideal for this project.

Two Become One is an earthy addition to any living room!
