Maybe you believe, maybe you don’t. But this pillowcase featuring the mountains of the North Cascades and the big-footprints of our local cryptid, the fluffy and oh-so-stealthy Sasquatch, are sure to make you a believer of beautifully knitted home décor! Display this pillow on your couch or bed with the feet showing on the front or reversed so that those chonky feet stay hidden – just like your friendly, neighborhood Sasquatch.

A note about switching out yarns. Yes, you can switch out yarns if you so desire! If you do, make sure to use an Aran/heavy worsted weight wool yarn. Targhee is great for this pillow because of how poofy and springy it is (yes, those are technical terms). This pattern will work best with a similar type of wool.
