Worked entirely in one piece, the Angler Pillow will add a pop of color and texture to your favorite room! The front panel is a large mitered square. Mitered triangles are then picked up and knit, creating easy access for your pillow insert! With 3 different sizes to knit, we know you’ll enjoy working up a set for your bed or sofa. For an extra treat, knit the companion Master Angler blanket to match!
