Big, bold snowflakes in two styles accent each other with mirrored color-blocking in these winter-themed floor pillows. Envelope-style construction allows for easy insertion and removal of the pillow form, which also makes them easy to store when not in use. Knit several to act as the perfect floor seat when hunkered down watching movies as the snow flies outside.

NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.

• These pillows are worked back and forth in rows in one piece from bottom to top.

• Chart A features a single large snowflake. Chart B has five smaller snowflakes. The yarn quantities given are enough to make two pillows: either one with each chart as shown, or two pillows the same.

• The charts are worked using the stranded method. Always pick up the background color over the pattern color and pick up the pattern color from under the background color. Keep floats loose. For floats longer than twelve stitches, tack stranded yarn on wrong side of work. The colorwork patterns do not extend to the edges of the piece. Use a new strand of pattern color for each row, leaving a 3” tail at each end. Weave in tails when knitting is complete.
