Using a variegated color yarn for the contrasting color in this crochet pillow pattern creates the illusion of many colors of yarn when it is really just two different colors. This crochet pillow pattern uses the waistcoat stitch in the round to create a knit-look texture. The use of fair isle crochet (the technique of alternating colors without finishing off to create a design) and changing colors mid-stitch creates the floating ‘v’ shapes throughout the design.

There are lots of photos & step by step instructions in this pattern to help you create it as easily as possible.
