Notions: 14” pillow form(s)

This pillow set shows off a bold and modern looking hourglass design with smooth, curving color areas.

It is worked in a shaped intarsia technique: instead of moving the color change which makes for jagged edges, you work increases and decreases at the color changes.
Depending on what kind of increase or decrease method you choose, the color change edges can be more or less decorative.

This technique is featured in Knitting Daily’s Blog: Fabric Engineering.
