Description
A beautiful pillow that uses 5 different yarn colors to generate a green gradient made of cables. The colors used in this pillow are from the Sweet Georgia Tough Love Sock Mini Skein pack, however any yarn with 5 color variations can be used to make this pillow. This pillow pattern uses two simple cable stitches (video tutorials included) to make the colorful braids. The pattern requires color work (the holding and carrying of multiple yarns), which can make the pattern more challenging. However, if you use one bobbin or skein per cable (as detailed in the pattern) then it is fairly straightforward.

This pattern includes a written pattern and a stitch diagram. Video tutorials are also included for the cable stitches (links below).
