The Humpback Pillow is a color work pillow that is worked in the round. The chart is worked twice across the round to form the identical front and back seamlessly. The top and bottom are stitched closed once the project is blocked. I used a mattress stitch around the columns of stitches which give the appearance of a continuous knit fabric. Once the pillow is stitched to the point that only a 6” opening is left you add ploy-fil or a pillow insert being careful not to overstuff the pillow which would distort the stitches.

Gauge

Gauge is not the most important thing in this project, having a nice dense fabric that will not let your poly fill through is more important. Difference in gauge will effect the finished size off the project.
