This pillow is a beautiful blend of knitting, applique and simple bead-work for a seasonal accent pillow. Pattern shown in Malabrigo but also beautiful in Cascade 220 and Dream in Color yarns. Easy bead-work accents (patterns included) using silver-lined beads. This pattern includes the Crochet Beaded Cord (CBC) design (pattern included) which is used for the tree garland but could be used a lovely accent edging (photos show the easier crochet together outer edge). Tree topper is a larger version of the bead clusters used as holiday tree ornaments. Knit front is stockinette, with a simple “tree” texture/design on back done by alternating knit and purl stitches.
