Beaded Castanets Pillow
Swirling patterns in this festive yarn’s deeply saturated color bring to mind the sounds, rhythms, and hues of Spanish dance. The pillow is worked with two strands held together in Tunisian knit stitch. A trim of beaded picots adds a little Ole’!
The pattern includes technique photos and written instructions.
The yarn comes in 1000-yard skeins; you will need only about 200 yards. The body of the pillow uses a size H Tunisian crochet hook. You may use this for the trim also, or switch to a regular size H hook. Other supplies: 8-inch square pillow form; big-eye beading needle; approximately 210 size 6/0 glass beads. A tapestry needle is recommended for weaving in ends.
