Description
These cable pillows are named after the historic settlement on the Orkney Islands, north of Scotland. The Aran design of these cable crochet pillows are based on the cultural history of Celtic society, and is a beautiful heirloom for any family. Pillows have two cable motifs, each with its own stitch diagram. The pillow pattern also includes a written pattern and video tutorials of the cable stitches used.
