In the spirit of the Cubs advancing to the World Series, I just had to design a Cubbies pillow. I was way too excited!

The ‘W’ design on the front is intarsia knit, the back is knit in solid stockinette stitch. It is a pretty simple intarsia pattern since only three bobbins are used for the entire project.

The entire pillow in knit in one solid piece and then wrapped around a pillow form and seamed up at the end.

GO CUBBIES!!
