Rock Weed
Note: This pattern is also available as part of the Fundy Tides Collection.
This decorative throw pillow cover features a chunky cable motif that coordinates with the Ribbon Weed throw. The cables are on the front with simple stockinette on the back. The pillow is worked flat, in one piece. The bottom of the back is worked first, followed by the cabled front and finally the top of the back. The sides are seamed, with the top of the back overlapping the bottom. Buttons add a decorative and functional finishing touch.
