Pattern Description from One-Skein Wonders: 101 Yarn-Shop Favorites: “One skein of this linen yarn sat in my stash for several months (or was that years?). When the idea of this one-skein book cam into being, ‘pillow’ became obvious. Both the Woven Basket Stitch used for the front and the garter stitch used for the back produced slightly openwork fabrics, so the pillow form underneath shows through. I covered my white form with a dark purple fabric before adding the knitted cover. The cover consumed all but 12 inches of my skein of yarn, so there is not room for variation. If you come up short on yarn, either make a single I-cord trim or eliminate the trim altogether.”
