Our latest pillow pattern is chock full of textural and tassel goodness, just waiting to be knit up. The pillows are sure to turn your home into a sanctuary, ideal for hosting guests or just relaxing solo with a good book. They add a gorgeous accent and pop of embellishment to any interior.

This pattern offers instructions for two different pillow sizes 14”x14” and 16”x16”. The materials listed below are for one pillow in either size. Each side of the pillow features a different yarn and stitch so you’re really getting 2 pillows in one. Flip a side when you feel like changing things up! The pillow front in both options is knit with 2 skeins of Pixie Dust yarn and the back is knit with 1 skein of our Sister yarn.

Even though we are partial to our colorful handpsun yarns, the tassels on the corners of the pillows totally make them magical. If you haven’t noticed yet tassels are a serious obsession for us around here! Don’t leave these out!
